You met them... Well I don't know how well you know them so if I had offended you, my appologies just was just my MO.

I knew Dave somewhat growing up he was older but we were at a hand full mutual events and he had known that I was from neighboring hometown of his; he was always nice to me. However over the last few years when I bump into him at a bar we both go to... to leave it somewhat appropriate and private; he has changed and I don't care for him on a personal level. But as for his driving yeah he has made good improvement however, he is backed by a factory team, great Co Driver and personaly the driving that I saw by him at STPR in person wasn't fluid like it was more balistic and dodgy. He just looks very unconfortalbe and he was either confused on the 10 line or 7 line but he was back and forth.

Ken seems very distant or standoffish to me. When our Service area was next to his at April IRNY we watched a younger child ask for an autogragh after ken got out of his car, ken was in route to his RV, He looked at the child and said after he eats somethin and just brushed him off. The kid returned to his father who my driver waved over to sign what he had on hand for him... I know its not throwing dirt in someones eyes but its a bad first impression... However I dont care what people chalk it up to that man knows how to drive weather its all seat time or what...

Deagan, we saw at a bar on the First day Racing at STPR this year... We left the bar at 12pm that Guy and the rest of his rockstar entourage where still there getting loose! I like a guy that can party but on race day!?! IDK

Travis I like.

But yeah go hometown

You didn't offend me at all. everyone has different interactions with all of these guys. I tend to be a much bigger fan of the SP guys then the open class guys.


Now it looks like Jimmy Keeny also had issues today

So I read that Andrew has moved his radiator up to about what looks to be 8 inches from where it normaly sits so that he can afford to over shoot the jump lol just in case... He says he can afford to impact at 45 degrees if need be lol maniac!

Also I'm reading that those Ford fiestas are running 51lbs but through a 40mm restrictor not a 34mm.

Times for the seeding runs:

Group 1 (Drivers ranked 5-12 coming in, because the top four racers from last year are automatically pushed through the first round):

Brack: 57.00
Deegan: 58.11
Comrie-Picard: 58.58
Mancin: 58.78
Wiktorcyk: 61.47
Gruszka: 65.69
Johnson: 250.00 (hit the wall)
Keeney: DNF


Group 2

Foust: 57.39
Pastrana: 58.05
Block: 59.76
Mirra: 60.60


Remember, for a lot of guys, especially those already in the top four, a primary goal was a clean run to help preserve the car for Sunday. The times matter, but don't read too much into them.
