Stephan,I believe waving to the crowd slowed you down that 1/10th of a second... :wink:

That not a tenth -- that's 1/100th of a second. :o Just raising his eyebrow at the crowd would do it.

Egads..right you are... :shock: 1/100th of a second over a 4 mile track. Probably could not do that again even if they wanted to.... :lol:

Thanks Stephan, I really wanted to go but work is thin right now so I can't past anything up maybe next year. It will be great to be on track next week after a long winter.

I concentrated specifically on my not-waving technique to make up that 1/100 of a second on Stephan :sunny:

Right, thought I covered in the classroom: do as I say .. don't do as I do :roll:
All kidding aside, I have had close call like that before. All I can say is: IT'S FUN, I'd take 2nd place like that ANY DAY over and over again because that is as close and competitive as it can get.

It was definitely a ton of fun - an excellent time trial and a great event at Monticello :)
