Both GGF and Marina were good events. I took my 3 runs
a.f.a.p. and hauled down to Marina at warp speed, but
got there just too late to run B-Stock. Rats! The GGF
course beat me (again), but I would have been happy
ending the day there.
Walking the course with Dennis Armstrong encouraged me
to stay. It was so fast and so fun, I could hardly
believe it. And there was grip! And the course lasted
6x seconds, not 4x. And we got 4 runs. Now if only
they could do something about the cold wind down at
Marina and get the food guy back, life would be
perfect.
Great day. Wish I could drive.
