Greatrace 2013 - Day 8

I believe it was Charles Dickens who said, "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times."

Let's start with the "worst of times."  We got a 28 second leg.  Ugh!  We took a speed adjustment at the wrong sign.  We weren't sure exactly how much time to make up, so we "hacked" off the car in front of us.  Bad idea.  They were off too.  Nuff said.  As mentioned in an earlier post, no scores are dropped on days 8 and 9.  So we got what we got....

The Best of times:  three Aces!!!!!  The car was dialed in and we had an outstanding run.

Leg 1:  1 second early
Leg 2:  ACE
Leg 3:  2 second early
Leg 4:  3 second late
Leg 5:  ACE
Leg 6:  1 second late
Leg 7:  4 second early
Leg 8:  28 second late (uuuggghhhh!)
Leg 9:  ACE
Leg 10:  3 second late

That's a 42 second raw; 34.65 second adjusted.

I'm not sure of standing- they haven't been published.  My guess is that we dropped out of 1st.  But we should still be "in the hunt."

THIS JUST IN:  the results are out; and we're basically tied for 1st in class (16th overall).  Technically, we're 2nd in class.  The other team is 6/10th of a second ahead.  Whew!  Dodged a bullet today with the 28 second leg.
