Minor Kudo's to the Lowell Race

For getting results out in a timely manner.

But that said - Chabot still got hosed and instead of being listed as finishing after Shawn he got a DNF. Maybe that's Karma for pulling into the pits and not finishing the 35+ race.

And I'm dubious about the finish, although my 23rd probably is about right when I sit back and think about it. And like my daughter pointed out, I was really happy with my 49th place finish at NoHo, 23rd is a LOT better. Kids have a great way of putting what matters in perspective. I'd hoped to stick with Marvin but man he was railing the corners and carrying more speed than me through them, hell everyone seemed to be doing that to me.

Checking crossresults.com I have three new Skulls and that's a good thing. I beat the guy who took the place in front of me at Plymouth South. Granted the three new Skulls are from guys who have just stepped up to 35+ open races, but still. I like those new skulls. I had a boat load last week. Should have snagged a screen shot of it.

It will be curious to see the points for the race calculated. It looks off hand like a pretty stacked field. Either way at 15 races the next race to drop out of my points is the lowest scoring one. Hopefully this won't replace it as such. It is okay if it does - the race was wicked hard, and the day was awesome.

Next year though I hope to hear they've hired someone to do the scoring AND maybe found a reasonable starting solution. Maybe that new parking lot would make a good start finish section. That lap card display thing 10 feet off the course, not on the start line and on the outside of a turn (where you have to take your eyes off the racing line to see) was just poorly thought out placement.

But if even Adam Myerson had fun racing, well you can see what it has grown as big as it has. We can hope for improvement next year right?
