    Congratulations. Just keep on going rounds. I can't seem to get my head out of you know where in Tucson. Not doing to bad in Phoenix, but I am going to miss next months race as I'll be at the Gathering in Joplin that weekend.:)

    update with 3 racedays to go!

    After some bad luck with the trans letting go we fell to 3rd place in the standings! As last Sunday came we went 6 rounds to the Finals again only to finish the day bridesmaid again for the 4th time this season.
    The day ended with me tied for 1st in the season points standings, so all of a sudden it's a three race shootout for the championship!
    Perseverance is paying off and the Mav is running deadly consistent!
    Crossing fingers and toes for the next 2 weeks!:drive:
