    Way to go Cliff! What are you turning these days? Hope I make it to the Port Alberni races. Got a new birth certificate on its way courtesy of my sweetheart so I'll be able to hop across the border.

    The local track is pretty short...just 330ft. But you do get a RT, a 60ft and the 330ft times...so its sort of a training thing. We do get some pretty tough guys showing up to keep up thier skills. Plus to win at a short track you have to be a pretty quick thinker...I find when I hit a quarter mile track that is seems like I have forever to decide what to do. That being said...I ran a 5.181 on a 5.18 dial-in. RT was .515(.500 being a perfect light) and a 1.79 60ft and 69.264mph for the win. My best of the night was a 5.16.
    Port Alberni will be a Blast...I really hope you can come...you will have fun!

    congratulations. i'm sure the shorter track makes you think quicker. not much chance to recover from a bad light.:)
