TRP 09-30-2020

With the weather looking pretty grim, both Paul and I decided to head out to TRP tonight for the final Wednesday of the season. We left the hotrods at home and instead took the turbo dailies, his VW and my F-150. You couldn't have two more dissimilar vehicles. Euro-econo-hot-hatch vs. King of the Pickups, 1.8T vs. 3.5TT. And both vehicles in the 15.0s. We had 4 time runs, all heads up. I did best him on ET, cracking a 14.94 @ 91 on one run.
We both made it through first round. I even had a legit good run 1st round, with a .04 light, and hitting the brakes to run 15.25 on 15.00 dial. As second round was starting, mother nature made her presence known. A minutes worth of big rain drops, and Jim Curtis called the event. This is where it got fun.
Paul was in FWD class, I was in truck. There were 4 vehicles left in both classes. They were pulling cards at random in the tower for winner and runner up. (they did this for animal, stock & bike too). They called FWD first, with Paul getting the win! They called truck class next, and I ended up with runner-up!
So in the final outing of 2020, Team Tiresmoke collects two more pieces of hardware!
