This past weekend marked the end of the 2009 race season.  It was pretty cold out and unfortunately the track was not holding what little heat the cars were bringing, so traction was a bit of an issue.

Grant raced JoJo in the Gambler’s Race on Saturday and ran his best time yet of 8.27.  He jumped the gun a bit in the second round.  (I think this set the stage for the rest of the weekend.)

Sunday was the final points race.  I qualified third with reaction of .4200.  On my third time trial I managed to run my best time of the year… an 8.15 at 163mph.  Unfortunately I was out first round with a red-light.

Our friend Al Roy challenged me to a grudge match, which I thought would be fun for the last race of the season.  It would have been fun if it wasn’t 7 degrees out with a chilling wind…. AND if I hadn’t caught the red again.  I am looking forward to a 2010 Grudge match on a .400 tree and in warmer weather.

Grant and I would like to thank everyone who helped us out this year and especially to everyone who allowed us to participate in the many car shows we attended and always have so much fun being in.

Now to a seven month hibernation….
