We had an awesome weekend of racing at the Great Plains Qualifier on Saturday and the Groovin in Grove tournament on Sunday. During the Qualifier, we took first place and won every match of the day against some pretty good competition! Overall, we were 15-2 in the heats during five races that were the best three of five (once a team wins three heats, the race is over). Our best time Saturday was a 17.3 second heat during the last match of the day against Sneak Attack.
Division 5 Results:
1. Breakin' Out
2. 4 Dog Flight
3. Full Speed Ahead
We took first place again on Sunday racing in S2, which included Sure Shots B, Sneak Attack, and Fetchin Frenzi. We started out winning every head in the first round robin, going 12-0. We got greedy after that when we had a virtual lock on first place and started pushing it to see if we could get an even faster time. Needless to say, we raced very sloppy and went 2-7 during the second round robin, but held on for first place again. We did manage several 17.3 races a few 17.2's with a new best time of 17.238. We still have a lot of room on passing to improve, so I think we'll get a little faster yet when we all get a solid run.
Zio ran several times in the low 4.0's with tighter passing, but didn't quite hit 3.9 again. His turn held up reasonably well for him, but I need to work on his striding (if it's possible at this point). We'll go back to basics in practice now until we race in OKC next month at Burnin' Up Bricktown 2. It will be nice to be able to stay at home for this one!
