Thunderhill - Tracknutz

My first event using timing equipment. My best lap was 2:18.92 which was then followed by a very impressive cloud of smoke from the back of my car (the engine.) Uh oh. No one could find any obvious problem with the car, though the bottom was coated in oil. I managed the 2 1/2 hour drive home without incident or further loss of oil. I'm happy with the time, since my previous best (from videotape) was about 2:26.57, but there are so many places for improvement. Too bad I had to cut my track time short.
