That being said, it was as clear as day to me that the 1/4 mile event was an absolute must for every convention in the future. There is plenty of time Saturday to do the family thing. Katie and I did the zoo thing and it was great. The drag day was a resounding success for all. Ask anyone who went to the 2012 convention if they think the drag day isn't now absolutely mandatory. You won't find anyone who thinks it shouldn't be on the bill. It is the perfect compliment to the road course and the picnic.

For what seemed how comfortable you appeared on the track, I was surprised to see how uncomfortable you were at the drag strip. It is what it is, but not a person can knock you for trying it.
Calm down and save up for 2013, folks. It will be another killer convention as long as WE can show up!
