Dennis ran 5 laps on the street tires.
Race prepped Superformance, IRS !
His times were 55.3, 54.9, 50.9, 55.4, 55.5 if my memory serves correct ???
Not sure what brand of tire he used.

Engineer Ed (FFR, 4 link, Sumitomo tires) ran times of 55 seconds and a best lap of 54.6
I was very pleased with my times when compared to Dennis on the street tires. **READ BELOW**

Dennis is expected to be consistent with his times and we are disputing the 50 second time.
His best lap on his race slicks was only 49.? seconds.
Something sounds fishy.....

Could the 54.6 have been the fastest on street tires !!
Could Jim have actually beaten EE. Being 0.4 seconds, was it the timer who errored???
We will never know for sure.....

We weren't happy with the way the times were being kept and the inconsistency of the timers.
An electronic time system is being purchased for the next event.
