Congratulations to:
Peter Jankovskis and Greg Shebert, Winners - Lightweights
That's right, Lightweights! One pound below the cutoff. There were many teams out there that weighed less than Peter's helmet, also in the "lightweight" class, which makes their win that much more impressive.
Dave Harrington and Roberto Castro, Winners - Lard-asses
Just kidding - Heavyweights. In a questionable kart and with some nasty "it's just a racing thing" delays that fell their way, they persevered and won the Jenny Craig Class. Oops, there I go again.
Stan Bernacki and ??? (CTX Racing), Winners - Clubman
Please forgive me, ???, but I didnt't get to meet you and know your name. That nice chunky trophy, well deserved, will certainly not be your last.
Dave Mickelson - Fastest Lap of the Night
Not a category that receives a trophy, but at 29.86, against drivers 40 pounds or so his junior, a section of track should be named after him - or maybe a constellation.
Rick - Billiards King
I won the first game. Rick won the followning 732.
(I wish alchohol were an excuse, but he may have also defeated me at Track 4.)
However, I invite Rick, and any fool interested in straight-pool, to a Track 4 Billiards Enduro, anytime.
:blah: Comments:
Many thanks to Matt Palmieri for asking me to be his teammate, and not punching me out when I let him down. And thanks to his dad, Vince, for implementing what would have been a winning stradegy, had the older half of the team not driven so miserably.
Here we go (please unabashidly post your thoughts):
I though it was a top-notch event, however, I heard a few people gripe. Please look at it this way,
First of all,
Ignor all comments from those that gripe at all events at which they don't win.
Secondarily,
Remeber, this does not effect your ProScore, or your image in the minds of the beautiful women who work at CIR (who occupy my ever thought).
If a little kart spins you, or an adolescent driver pulls away, please don't overreact thereby detracting from a great sport. You started young. You started thin. Else, you started too late, or, like most of us, this is a passtime; don't do anything but support the kids that might eventually make it a career.
I tried hard; I had a lot of fun, didn't you?
