Well, we drove better today, but the cone gods were not kind...

I ran in the rain this morning, and had an good second run with a single cone. All I had to do was clean it up... Then the lightning and downpour came... We were help up fpr about 30 minutes. and though it was not raining anymore, the course was slower than on my second run due to huge puddles/rivers. The car would not turn in one and I Killed Kenny, the name of the cone they bet will be most likely to be hit on each course. In another puddle, somehow, a wave of water cam eover the entire front end of the car and windshield. This happened to a number of drivers, so I was not imagining it. So my second run with the cone stood as my best run dropping me to 32nd of 51.

It was dry by Debbie's runs, and she drove well. On her second run she had a great run that would have been fast time for her class, and vaulted her to 2nd or 4rd in class, but she hit 2 cones we know of, and 2 others nobody saw, one of which the worker didn't even write a number down for... So on her third run, all she had to do was clean up that last run to trophy... Alas, again, the cone gods did not deam us worthy, and sent the round orange pyramids of doom flying... Her first run was still enough to move Debbie up to 5th.

Dave drove better as well, but had his orange ruberized vinyl magnet turned on as well, dropping his position as well in AP...

So while we drove better today, it was not good enough...

We had fun, and will definitely come back next year...

More later...
