Mike couldn't make it, but Sean and Rich and I were there. It was pretty fun, although the traction was terrible. It was just like in April, you could get out of the hole ok, but on the 1-2 shift the car would slide all over the place.

Rich made a couple passes, and struggled for traction too.

I guess I was still irritated from April, because one run and I was done. Sean made a few passes, then Rich noticed he had some coolant in the engine bay. It looks like just a loose hose clamp, but he decided to play it safe.

Sean was fired up to race some more, though, so I persuaded him to take my car. He put it in the 12's on the first pass, and 12.6's on the second. I think his best was a 12.66@112mph in it.

I have some videos, mostly of Corvettes breaking loose down the track. They are big, 1080p, so I'll figure out some way to share them. I can host the files, but I suspect they are large. I'll check if youtube does HD video for free.
