Summary: Great Races & Great Fun.

First things first -- if you didn't attend, you missed out on what was quite possibly the best racing you will see in a long time. There were lots of close races -- one elimination race decided by .003 seconds and the final by .02 seconds. There were very few races that ended in disabled cars, and even blue smoke pouring out of the back of the car didn't mean you were out or done for the day!

The day started on a potentially sour note after Chuong's four door dispatched 4th gear to the land of no return, but with the help of the RevLine crew, a new transmission was swapped in the pits in record time. This allowed Chuong to continue qualifying -- which was great considering that Saturday (the day before the event) was spent putting a new motor/turbo in after the previous setup fed piston to the valve train and turbo after the sleeve dropped .005 inches only days earlier.

Pretty much all of our cars qualified top 5 of the field except for one, and as you can imagine, in addition to a great showing by all involved, that resulted in huge fun in the eliminations, not to mention the blast everyone had in qualifying. The story of the night for us was Joel taking it all the way to final and putting in one hell of an effort, falling only .02 short of the heads up victor from South Dakota -- another example of the kind of racing that was going on all night. Congrats Joel on the great showing and ensuring that if not 1st, a ridiculously close 2nd, and a great showing for RevLine and KC in general.

A special thanks to all those who came out in support of RevLine and kept spirits high and the atmosphere light during emergency tranny swaps and an intense day of close racing.
