Bride's Maid...Again

  Hayo....This is going to be a short one because I've been absolutely slammed at work and haven't kept up with the blog very well these past couple of weeks.  A quick recap of the wonderful March Meet weekend.  We qualified #1 with a scorching 5.66 @ 257 mph.  Without question, we had the baddest hot rod on the property and everyone knew it.  Here are our rounds and results:

Q1   5.72 @ 252
Q2   5.66 @ 257
Q3   5.73 @ 254
R1   5.68 @ 258
R2   5.70 @ 256
SF   5.73 @ 249
F     5.72 @ 255

Amazing runs, huh?  Except we lost in the final.  We win as a team and lose as a team....this time we just came up on the losing end.  This one stung a bit more than runner-up in CHRR last year, but it is what it is and we're already focused and preparing for our next meet in Boise at the end of April.  I'll post some photos from Bakersfield and other observations later.  Got to see some folks I hadn't seen all winter; met some new friends that I'm sure will be around for a long time and witnessed a few things that I'd care to burn out of my memory with sulfuric acid.  Other than losing - it was a wonderful, memorable weekend!
