Cam is in 4th SS, and Ambrose 7th -- both in reasonable placements, but I expected better (no pressure Cam, really )

Expectations met?

Totally!

Congrats to the entire crew that went down this year for obviously less than stellar conditions.

By the way we have 14 people down there:
GS Chris/Stephen
SS Ryan/Jay/Ambrose/Cam (Tues/Wed)
SSL Orieta (Tues/Wed)
CS Tom/Tom (Tues/Wed)
BM Dave C.(Tues/Wed)
DM Alan Rae (Tues/Wed)
FS (Sera/Richard - run on Thurs/Fri)
ES Julie (Thurs/Fri)

I think that is it.

It was brutal out there yesterday ... (day 1 - Tuesday) ... check out this photo from Solomatter (on Facebook):

I guess there were some cone penalties due to waves/splashes from cars ... yep they count.     I remember someone mentioning a corvette in particular.   Smaller cars = smaller tires and waves!

Thanks for the congrats everyone. Not where I expected to finish....
Had a nice dry course for third runs today which was a lot more fun. Yesterday was wet and miserable but worked out for me in the end.

[Reijo]

Are you driving back tomorrow or sticking around for a bit?

[threeotwo]

Planning to watch Julie, Richard and Sera today.  Will probably be heading home as soon as they're done.

[Reijo]

OK ... wish them well and have a good trip!  I'll be listening on-line ... hopefully the broadcast etc. will be working today.

I see Julie is actually in ESL and runs in the 1st heat on the west course today.  Richard and Sera are in FS and are running in the 3rd heat on the east course.   

Weather looks good for Lincoln today but maybe a thunder storm tomorrow:

 OK ... looks like results are coming in ... Julie DNF'd her last run .. having a bit of a tough time out there. It looks like the top two gals are running away from the "pack" and the last 3 are clustered fairly close together including Julie ... so she can definitely move up substantially with a good day tomorrow. Don't know what the story is there (being the 1st heat out on the west course) ... maybe drying or warming conditions or both? Maybe someone can update us or we can check out Solomatters on here or others on the 'net/FB? http://sololive.scca.com/ESL.php

But still no live audio broadcast.     We have had no east course broadcast at all from what I know ... equipment problems in the rain or something?  But the west course has been working most of the time ... but I know they had problems mid-day or so yesterday ... and apparently not working now ... a shame.

Corey Dyck of Winnipeg is in 5th place 0.3 out of 1st in CM in his Formula Ford (Citation) ... Mike Marish is further back (from Vancouver).

Neil Tovsen sitting in 1st -- he might break his  bridesmaid curse this year.

The Johnson Spirit of the Sport Award was presented to “The Eh Team,” a group of competitors from eastern Canada.   Go to scca.com to see them picking up the award on stage (that's Dina holding the mic).

Wow Dina looks a lot different from the last time I saw her.
