Z's RULE!!!! It was a good year for the Z at the Solo II Nationals particularly ole blue. I was worried about the rain on Tuesday but ironically it allowed me to get enough lead to cover the hot run Fordahl had the next day.

Weather permitting, I will be in Daytona for the autox on Thursday. I am in Toronto right now, headed to Philly tomorow and back to Tampa Wed. night.

John, John, John... It always all about John! :disappoin

Sure he's a phenomenal driver and a heckuva nice guy, but what about the rest of us?!?!? :P

Actually.. congrats again John.

Like JT said, it was a great year for the Z's. 4 of the 6 Z's registered took home 5 of the 6 trophies. We ran second heat on Tuesday and Wednesday, but Tuesday morning was drying from an overnight shower and we occasionally saw some very light drizzle... just enough to keep the 914-6 more crossed up than the rest of us. Because of the weather, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to compare us to any other classes. It's not very pretty. The weather was perfect from mid-day Tuesday on so the course kept getting faster.

Here is a couple of runs from 5th place finisher Rick Martinez and his co driver. If you look at the skid marks at the end of the second run in this clip, those are the work of my co driver over cooking the finish, but claiming the last trophy. It was pretty dramatic... he skidded right up to the cones. Leaned a few back but didn't drop a one. Now I just need to figure out how to put all of that rubber back on the tires...
