First win of the season and r/t Bonus

Spent the whole weekend at the track (fri night - sun night) racing in the OSCA Series. http://www.raceosca.com/

Mostly V8 Vintage cars with the 12.90 Index class being the slowest. However its still pretty exciting. I managed to qualify first with a 12.91 during the qualifications.

They did the National Anthems thing and we were the first class to race by virtue of being the slowest. Pic is from that run. They had a $200 bonus for the first perfect light, so I was really surprised when I got that. The car in the other lane was a Vette running a 75 Zex shot, I was N/A. I didn't run any quicker than necessary to secure the win but in the process I forced the Vette to break out (12.81). My mph shows that it definately wasn't an all out run.

I might also note that this is a Pro Tree event so getting the .000 is even more difficult and is my first one. I do have a few Sportsman Tree perfect lights, well about 4 or 5.

Anyway, very satisfying weekend, the only hiccup was a severe sunburn which kept me up most of last night tossing my cookies. As we used to say in the Military its a "self inflicted wound" and doesn't deserve any sympathy.
