So they don't mind the blown stoker?

Seems L98Terror (my clubs ex president) did OK

all I have to say is 1:13.98 at Putnam in a TTS/ST2 car & this is a car that weights in at 3200 lbs and makes 345 RWHP.

Now people can go on and on about how their car feels like it's on rails all I have to say is 1:13.98, 1.7 seconds under the old track record on a track I've only run a couple NCCC high speed runs on in 06 and one weekend in early 08.

Hoosier, Hawk and Penske FTW!!!!

Wow!!! Here goes
Ordered a replacement for my cracked rotor Friday
My second daughter Danica Jean was Born 5/10 Mother’s Day
Signed up for the event later that evening
Got sick as hell on Wednesday
Loaded my car Thursday, without going though it since Gingerman
Worked all day Friday, kissed wife and daughters good by
Picked up Eric, Shaun and Mike, My Pit crew whom I’ve never meant before (you guys did a great job, well I knew Eric)
Arrived at 10:30 PM, went straight to the bar (thanks Matt & Bret)
Got stuck with someone’s tab cough! cough!
Crammed 4 of us into a Hotel at 1 AM, got no sleep (Who gets text messages at 4 in the morning?????)
Up at 6, raining of course
Swapped crack rotor, meetings and students all day, semi dry practice, semi dry Qualifying ran a 1:16.7 (track record for ST2 was a 1:17.8xx) first hot lap of the race was a 1:16.1xx was then slowed to 1:19s behind a stupid Mustang, why is it always a mustang?
Grid was screwed up again, one hell of a show was put on for the spectators but I couldn’t have been more upset, racing out of class again, a little car to car contact and was passed by three cars under yellow.
Still sick, lost my voice & had a confrontation in the pits.
All and all a great day, one win, one track record.
That was Saturday

I'll let the video do the talking, if watching with kids turn the volume down
