Yup. 5 different winners in the 5 events this weekend. Now how good is that!

Still in amazement of the F1 race. When we raced this class here last February, Wes Pikunis was the TQ with a 4.170. The last sit-out for the A-Main was a 4.321. That would have gotten you into the D main at this event.

The 2nd highest sit out to Wes was a 4.222 and that would gotten you into the C Amin at this.

Unreal.

Better driving, better set-ups, track condition. Guys won with 5 year old cars (Mike Katz).

Not to mention, Matt Bruce won with a three year old motor that still has the bushing in it.

I think some of it is just progress but a lot of it is because we are all chasing/racing the Sohl man and he builds some FAST rides!!!!
