David,
you are right with the amout of actual driving you do at the nationals.

But don't forget the friday pactice.

The track is all ours from 9.00am to 4.00pm. Karen and I drove the cobra most of the day untill our arms were hurting and phyiscally could not drive any more.

If you include this in your calculation I think the 29 mins would be extended to well over a few hours, if you were up to it you could drive for the hole 7 or 8hours on the friday.

In my opinion, the best day at the nationals is the friday practice.

I fired up the new engine yesterday and it now looks good to make the nationals.
