Great news, Nuk.

Maybe you can get a sponsor after putting a few of these under your belt.

Regardless, it's great that you can do something that's perpetually challenging and super-fun.

Good thing there were only three cars in E class then, huh?

OK, seriously, how many total cars were there in that class? The event seemed pretty light when I stopped by. Good to see that you're improving. I swear that I will make it to one event eventually. Any next Saturday?

The results aren't posted online yet but I think there was more then three cars in the class. I'd feel like a jackass if there were. I there was only three in the class they only would've given a trophy for first. 5 - 10 cars would have been 2 trophies, so I am assuming there was more then 10 cars.

I would've been faster but my front tires were under inflated. I increased the front pressure 10 psi, then it started to rain. I only lost 2 seconds in the rain, so I think I would have done better if I had it right from the begining.

Congratulation. Now please don't tell us that KWIK is your hero and that is why you have that donation suggestion.

Accepting donations was meant more of a joke. I am actually just looking to buy some used rubber cheaply, max perf. or competition, even to 1/16th of tread left.

If you're throwing it out, I've give you money and race them till there are not usable anymore.

Good runs, and yes, there are more than 10 cars if they gave out three trophies.
