Race Results

Posted on the regional NASA web site this morning:

Congratulations to the 2012 NASA Rocky Mountain TT Class Champions, and thanks to all for making this a fun, competitive, and safe season:

TTR: Robert Cowan
TTU: Jim Avery
TTS: Richard Lavender
TTA: Jim McKendree
TTB: John Spangler
TTD: James Lashley
TTE: Zung Vu Tran

---------------------------------------------

I want to thank... Well, a lot of folks. Parts suppliers, knowledge suppliers, helping hands, words of encouragement. Thanx to everyone. It's been a great year, and I can't wait until next year!

Mostly, though, I want to thank my Crew Chief. Without Michele at my side, this would not be possible. And, it wouldn't be any fun, either.

Congrats but I would also recommend that you don't thank Michele until after she wakes up

My pit crew would kill me for posting that picture

First - congrats!!

Second - have you recovered well enough to return to work? (I'll bet the beating Ms. M gave you could be measured on the Richter scale.) If you don't recover, can I have your car?

Congratulations Bob!! Way to go on the championship!

Can you give any details/tips on your car suspension set-up for the track? I recall that you have IRS, correct? I've got IRS and I've done a few track days but am really a green rookie driver.

Really interested in your shock, spring, sway bar, and alignment specs for the track. Seems to be more track set-up information out there for the 3 link cars so it would be good to know what set-up you've found that "works" for an IRS car at the track.

Yeah, but she'll never see this post.
She saw the picture! She yells from the computer room, "You Suck! Is nothing sacred?"

She asked if I sent that picture to everyone. I told her, No, not everyone. Just the people we know."

I'll send you a PM, so I don't bore the rest of the group.
