My mph was down about 1.5mph from best. I'm pretty sure this was due to the 20-30mph headwind that I looked up on the weather chanel for our area. It was freaking windy and had to drive straight into it. I almost matched my best time on run #2 w/ less mph but I tried something new, POWER-SHIFTING...I think it works, I didn't have the guts to try the 2-3 shift but I did pull 1-2 and 3-4 shifts perfect...Went w/ Vinyl66 who also ran slower mph. I really think I could have had a new best had it not been for the strong winds..all in all it was still a blast and made it home in one piece..
