[SECC] Beef Out Runs Chicken & Pig

Chuck, #1, congrats on 200 runs.  That's an excellent milestone for that
resurrected car.  That's about $1 per run, right?

I'm pretty sure I posted a 63 in the Pig, as an official run time on Sunday
morning.  Given 4 full runs, I would have taken you guys. But all Donnie
could do was about a 65. Should be on the sheets, which I didn't see.  Sure
would love to see ALL the results of all the runs for everyone.  Eddie only
counted my 1st days runs, which was a slower course, so I ended up with an
"official" avg of 66+.

You'd better do something else, soon.  When Donnie gets his driving skills
under control, and the pig runs dependably, (THERE's a statement  LOL)
You're in trouble.

I put a rear sway bar on my car on Friday afternoon, and it made a
tremendous difference in the body roll.  I suggest that's your next upgrade.
$60 from local junk yard, rear Vette 84-88 - about 2mm thicker than Tony's
current on his purple.  There were a ton at our local yard, and I'm sure
Donnie will visit there soon.
