2015 Helena Top Gun

[Wayne Dyck]

Trust I'm not speaking out of turn when I say that Jo & Murray Peterson and myself had a great time in Helena this past weekend participating in Montana's Top Gun event. I know I did.

Murray placed 1st in Street, 6th overall PAX for the weekend.
I placed 2nd in Street, 0.722 secs behind Murray on Sat, then narrowing the gap to 0.043 secs behind him on Sun, for 7th overall PAX.
A very satisfying weekend for myself, and a good tune up for this weekend's CAC event.

I would like to encourage more SASC participation in next year's Top Gun event. You won't be disappointed by the venue or competition. Maybe the SASC can take home the Top Gun trophy! We do have the talent in the club.

BTW... Helena's last big weekend event is Sept 19-20, the 'Coneheads' Event. Registration can be found on MotorsportReg.com.

It was a great time -- I recommend any Helena event.  Nice driving Wayne!

I did learn that the Bridgestone RE71r tires do not like long courses combined with a hot sun and 2 drivers.  My best runs were all in the morning when the tires could stay cooler.  Makes me worry about being second driver at Lincoln.

Two of the drivers that beat us will be here for the CAC next weekend -- Jonathan Mudge (STX) and Rob Johnson (ASP).  Be sure to give them a good welcome.

Well done guys!  But good luck this weekend.

Well done guys!  But good luck this weekend.   

Thanks!
Turns out I had a bonafide excuse for Sunday's greasy rear tires.  Swapped to a new set of tires this evening and discovered that one sway bar bracket is broken.  No wonder the rear end was loosy goosy

Hope I can get it fixed before the weekend.
