Buttonwillow, #1 CW.

11/08/08
Practice 2:18.48, Qualifying 2:18.045, Race 2:18.205

11/09/08
Practice 2:17.512, Qualifying 2:15.750, Race DNS

The last run (race) of the day, the car wouldn't start. Blown head gasket. The car has been lacking power and overheating for a while (since before nationals). I believe that the head gasket has been leaking, and finally went.

Saturday Ryan qualified behind 4 Spec Miata's and ahead of 4. This is typical for the Focus. On Sunday, he qualified ahead of every Spec Miata. His qualifying time was 2.295 seconds faster than his Saturday best (why??). 2.295 seconds is a huge amount to cut.

Setting track records is easy (when one hasen't been one set yet).
