Fair enough.. The start was pretty deep even in the third run group. It
was exciting getting my little car off the line with 138hp...
Got a tire question too.. The paddock was all gravel, so by the time I made
it back to my jack, my tires were encrusted with the stuff. I brushed it
out, but the surface of my poor tires looks terrible.. Will they spring
back, or did I really lose more tire on my way back from the course to the
pits than I did during my runs?
