Life again - originally posted 8/17/05
Life has interfered with me keeping this up to date. So it goes...
On July 31 I ran the Sports Car Spectacular, the next event in the WWSCC Championship. Since Lisa wasn't allowed to drive, and she had to go to something that afternoon, I ran in the morning. I did fairly well, improving by two seconds in each of the 5 runs except for the last. Unfortunately, I coned in 3 of the 5 runs; but my quickest run was clean! Unfortunately for my points, two Formula SAE cars ran in the afternoon and beat me handily. But that wasn't unexpected, the UW FSAE group has a heck of a quick car and some great drivers.
I had to miss Miatacross on August 7 as I was in South Dakota visiting family and looking at the half million bikers from across the world going to Sturgis Bike Week. Registration for the next event hasn't opened yet and the location still says TBD, so we'll see what happens. It's the Enduro, which is always a fun event; the course is set up so you can make continuous laps and you get one run, the first lap isn't timed but the next four are and that's all you get. If you mess up on understanding the course, you are screwed...
