Man I was feeling good this weekend. I also had a good ladder so I was feeling pretty confident to get to the final 4 but a strange battle with Takatori ended that in a hurry. Our qualifying speeds on the bank were only separated by 1 mph. So I felt the 2 car gap on the follow run was plenty of room. I also left foot braked to maintain the gap and as we came off the bank he just parked it. I’m not going to sit here and say he brake checked me but I was not the only one who “trunked” him there or had issues coming off the bank behind him. The data also shows that I was going slower on my follow run compared to my lead run. It’s just weird… Check it out from my GoPro Camera.

Oh well… my chassis is pretty jacked but I know the ASD guys will at least have all 4 wheels pointing in the right direction by Vegas.
looking at this vid, it seems like he was way to shallow and would have ended up knocking over all the inside cones, and possibly hitting the inside wall.
I agree with Essa….and really really slow. How did you get eliminated again Tyler? Maybe we should go comment on Tony’s blog!
