What she said!  This is our second race this year.  We had one the first weekend of the month at Road Atlanta.  Slept in cold (but had heater); practiced in fog (thumb for wiper); qualified in wet (drove by sonar); raced in dry (finished third); DROVE back onto trailer ( :) ).  Good weekend!

Anthony came in 2nd at both races.  He also set the track record for Formula Vee at the inaugural race on Saturday.

We did have a bit of a problem Saturday though.  Anthony backed into a tire wall during practice and kinked a couple of support arms which were weakened and also split a brake line.  Luckily the construction workers there were kind enough to weld his arms so that he could make it back out.

It was not a comforting site to see the Vee being brought in on the hook at the end of that session, but thankfully Anthony was okay and just had a minor headache the day after.
