Of course, Tom toasted me with a 49.337. I was determined to catch him, especially after our chat before timed runs, but he beat me by almost a second - taking a 6th top time.
Nice driving to all the SDR reps - San Diego Region drivers took first places in AS (Herb Meeder), CS (John Dimock), GS (Tom Tweed), LS/S (moi), MS/S (Tim Souza), MS (William Thorp - 3rd TTOD), NS/S (Juan Fernandez), and NS (Jose Garcia). Kathy Smalley of SDR turned in a 4th TTOD in MS, for a 2nd place behind William Thorp.
It was actually a fun, tight track - having a brick wall and curbs in place of cones was different
. It was about 1/2 as long as a Q West track, but there were some interesting sections to be mastered (and I guess Tom proved to be a better master of his domain
).
