Day 6 Brainerd complete.

Well after a great morning run on the full coarse the the afternoon was a little different but still OK.

We lined up in what I thought was a group that I would be in the front so there would be no traffic. Boy was I wrong one of our fellow competitors was not quite as fast as he thought he was and to make it worse tried to block the track and not let me by. A little exciting when he early brake check and I brake late into one. Can't wait to see the video on this one. Bad bad thing is no apology or or penalty for him balking us. Lost tons of time and would have placed alot better,but thats OK.

Oh well I still had a blast and learned something else about one lap. Get the stewards involved earlier in the line up if the other slower driver is not willing to move back in the pack for the start.
Lesson learned...

Now on to the much awaited Alxe breaking portion of the event, I mean Drag Races.

It was Great. We just beat ourselves. Herman did great on launch and shift, consistent and smooth on all runs. On the grid round he let off not to break out and a CTS-V inched him out. The good thing is no more stress in the car and we get to load and bit the road a little sooner.

Well now we've loaded up and hit the road. We expect to be in Wisconsin at Road America less than 7 hours with fuel and necessity stops we hope.
