Results in.

Out of a field of 44 cars. My boy and I were 1st!

Funny. We posted consistent 3.9 sec times and two cars managed 3.8 sec runs. I didn't think we would even be in the finals. Turns out that we made the cut. All cars run on each four lanes once for the qualifying runs. There are absolutely faster lane than others. On the qualifying, we placed first three times and took a second.

When we made the finals, I knew that we would be lucky to have a third place finish, as these other two cars had some blistering times. We took the first heat on the fastest lane. Then took the second heat on the second fastest lane. Then a second and a third finish.

It seems that consistency over ultimate speed wins the day. This year, my boy did a large amount of the work and we didn't put that much effort in. I think the secret is that we had a stable car and didn't do anything to slow the car down inadvertantly.

Good fun all around. It is nice to have a win for my boy. I think we have paid some dues in prior years with all the effort we have put in. This year, we NEVER thought a win was possible. Just wanted to have a good looking car and finish in the top half.

Makes me smile.
