Well this is kinda funny.  Race season was delayed by 2 weeks due to rain, and guess it should end that way.  Sun was out, and little windy.  Right before they opened the lanes for open time shots, a freak shower came thru and it was a soaker.  They ended up calling the last race of the season.  Big time bummer.  Want a full 1/4 mile for the '13.  So final points results, I ended 3rd in points for the season.  I missed 8 races, so results mind of been different, but the family and friend time was more important.  Want to thank my wife and daughter for there support and dealing with some real long Friday nights and Livernois for tuning the car.  Everyone at the track was real impressed at what the SHO could do.  So glad the season is over, much needed break.  This was my one and only time running for points.  Since I was bummed at not running the '13 last night I went to Mexico this morning.  Temps were nice and cool.  I was very pleased at the results.  Had some tire spin, so I do know they times are skewed some, but still good.

It sounds like you had a great season and plenty of family fun!  The numbers in Mexico are great although the speed might be a bit optimistic.  The cool weather makes a big difference, though.

Enjoy the "time off", and don't come back all "out of shape".  Stay toned for the upcoming season :D

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
