That is one heck of an endorsement from the boss. With equipment and commitment like that it has to get better from here on out.

I was always “ho-hum” about road-course racing even though Leguna Seca was (literally) in my back yard for many years. This year it “clicked” w/me - I loved the different challenges, the bumping and thump’n, (”dive-bombing”, is that a new NASCAR word?) and I’d love to get back to Sonoma too. Mrs. Happydog says we can go next year, Lord willing.

Almost everyone including the journalists at the race loved it. I guess the double file restarts really got some excitement back into road course racing.

Riverside which used to be in S Cal was part road course and was always fun racing. Of course they needed another shopping center there and tore it down which was a huge mistake.

It was going to be such a good finish for Jr - and then someone else makes a dumb move and we all felt like someone stuck a pin in us and we all deflated.

AND, lookie what the spotters up on the hill had to put up with!!
