I could go one about my engine prep and chassis set up. Which I sure
everyone would love to hear. But I can really attribute my smoking of the
"Try-oomph" to a few of the following:
1. I was driving like I stole it.
2. Lots and lots of curves with no straights.
3. He had his wife with him, I didn't.
He did catch up to me in Sierraville (25 miles later) and said under his
breath so she wouldn't hear. "Nice driving, but I could've had you if she
wasn't with me."
