On Sat morning there was a hour of testing on the short course. It was 1.7 miles oval. The same course the Hydros were running on at 200 MPH. SVL heat 1 on Sat was a 5 lap shoot out that Typhoon got to the pin first and held the inside lane. Pirates were out running us on the outside but had more distance to cover. On the last lap Typhoon squeezed out a 3 boat win. Octane was running the Crocket and just getting the feel of the boat and didnt fair so well. Heat 2 on Sun Another great start and Typhoon excellerated to turn one first again. Octain and Pirate got there at the same time and had a small bump off each other but kept there speed up. Again Pirates boat cought us and we bobbled a turn on the inside lane and they pulled a 3 boat lead which they siezed the opertunity and won the heat followed by Typhoon. The 3rd heat the Octane boat had the pole and beat us all to turn one leaving Typhoon in the middle and Pirates on the out side. Pirates pushing hard to keep speed on the out side almost lost it twice but recovered. Octain was checking out by 6 boat lengths and Typhoon and Pirates were batteling for 2nd. Next thing I know they were gone and did a major spinout ending there day. No damage was done and we are all ready for Detroit for next week. I understand Time Bandit will be in the house and looking for Possably the Doc and anyone else. The more the boats the bigger the purse. Martin delivered on everything he said including free rooms for the race team.

Guess I need to find one of these boats. How many P1 events left, I have a individual who is interested in sponsoring a boat, If we can make over 10k at each event and get the rest of the season in, he may jump at that little investment.

Randy there is a local municipal airport about 5 minutes from the pits, however they do not have commercial service...for commercial airline service the closest will be New Bern (EWN) which is about a 30 minute drive. Look forward to meeting you and if you have any other questions feel free to give me or Jeff a call, my cell is 252-723-1799.
