Jim Dallas put on quite a good show himself.   Took top honors in the 
biggest class at the event - IS-5 , beating two Yenkos and a few other well 
prepped late models.   Jim used a 64, just because.  His morning runs were 
spent looking for the limit,  which he usually managed to exceed.  180s do 
not make for good times.  Jim's best time was a 84.808.  A tad slower than 
Landers best track time but a second faster on this day.  Rob Landers was 
second in IS-5 with a 85.979.  Rob Bradley well prepped Corsa was third (a 
86.01 i think) with Bob Dunahugh's stinger a tad slower at 86.179.

Ned Madsen of "GoNedRacingTeam" fame,  won IS-3 in his 65 coupe with a 
89.518.

Dusty Bradley -- driving the flexi-flyer -- ran a 82.629 on old goodyear 
slicks.  I was the first to tell him that new tires will have him beating 
me, easily. the car is good,  and its much lighter than the #3.  Dusty can 
drive too.

Check the ICE web site in coming weeks.  hopefully the full slate of times 
will be posted.   I only wrote down those above -- my competition, past (68 
Sprint) and present (#3 car)

Terry Shepard won the mowing competition.   Rob landers did a nice 360 that 
almost won him that honor,  but Terry was driving his IS-2 car aggressively. 
He had more than a few 180s on the day.  Terry,  as did all the competitors, 
had a big smile on their face at the end of the day.  The iowa kart track is 
a great mini road course -- without that loooong straightaway.

oh.  my fastest time was a mere 81.498.  7 tenth slower that last fall.  May 
need to have Jim drive my car again so one of us will it that magical 78 
time.  Track record for a Corvair is 78.068.  I think the car is capable --  
the driver just needs IT.
