The Last Event--Day 8-- Dry Skid Pad--Good Finish

Reg Noble's car broke yesterday at Gingerman, pushing around dry skid pad
There is a car in there!
This is the last day of competition after a grueling week of long miles and little sleep.  At this point we have achieved our goal of the top half of the field.  The day presents both concern and opportunity.  We need to do well not to slip any positions but if we do real well we might gain another position or two.  When I finished my run, the announcer proclaimed "Jim Roberts is 1st in class, 1st overall", wow was that great to hear.  The only problem is that the field in inverted and the fastest cars were still to run.  My 1st held out for several cars, but then it started and we ended up slipping down the speed charts a bit.  The good news is we finished in 12th place for Dry Skid Pad and moved up 3 more positions overall.--
Picture of Reg Noble being pushed around Dry Skid Pad for a symbolic finish.  The other picture of the guys having fun doing donuts and burnouts after the competition was complete.  Most doing burnouts were those who had a trailer to haul their cars home from South Bend.
