Thanks Doug! It was a blast. I got super pumped when I would make a change and shave a second off. I was about 6 seconds behind the pro 'pack' (there was one pro just shredding the course so he's not lumped in the 'pack'). I can tell you I'm pretty sure 5 of my 6 seconds were in the hairpins. My lack of experience on those tight of turns was worth a second per turn I'm sure. The rest was probably just in start line traction and hitting the apexes just right. I'm pretty sure if I had handed the keys to one of the pros the truck would have been right there in the fast group of the day (34-36 seconds).

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I did officially place 2nd in the truck class for the event.
