Congrats Rob! Im glad you had a good weekend. I can hardly wait for the first MARRS race! Oleg I heard many good comments about you. I hope you had a good time and want to come back out and crew with us in the future. There were a lot of wrecks in my group most of them being Meathead cars you would have thought our shop was a wrecking yard. Here is a video of my practice starts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb-QYQtTpxc
Also that looks like a TON of fun.

I downloaded the TraqMate data from the driver's school and my best lap of the weekend came on Saturday afternoon after Oleg repaired my front hub & bearing. I turned a 123.3 on Nitto NT01 tires which is 1.1 seconds quicker than my previous personal best on non-Hoosier tires (121.7 on Hoosiers). That's how much I trust Oleg's work. The 123.3 was also the fastest lap time of the weekend for Group 3 (Big Bore).
I finally actually joined Honda Performance Development (HPD) and ordered the discount parts to replace the right front bearing and hub, I'm sure it's about to go since the left front died at the track this weekend. Their prices are great but their shipping is expensive. If you compete in tie trials you qualify to join. You just have to scan and attach two event results sheets to the application.
Matt & Pete,
Speaking of Lemons, what would you guys want for someone to buy themselves a ride on your Lemons team for the next race? Or are you going to require new drivers to bring sponsorships?

We are pretty much booked with drivers right now. At some point, one of the original team members will probably not want to do an event and then we will have to figure out how to replace them for the event.
