    Thanks Bill!

    I've been after that track record for a while now...it felt great to finally get it done when it was official.

    Other then the wind the air was perfect for it.

    Michael, thanks' for the wave around going in to five Sunday. I took an early apex so you could take a normal one and as you saw I should have backed off a little. Hope it didn't cause a problem for you.
    Congratulations on the record. It's hard to comprehend an 18.9 in a Vee.

    Ed -

    No problem - it didn't mess me up at all other then a brief moment of "oh crap." I'm glad you escaped that damage free? When you were sliding through the grass I was worried you were going to hook a corner or something. I tried to let you by as early as I could since I saw another FF behind you and I didn't want to screw up your race...even though in a round about way I guess I did anyway.

    I was in second at the time and wanted to put you between us. I should have backed off a little. Yesterday I took twenty pounds of grass and dirt out of my side pods.
    See you at the Sprints.
