The bad: I didn't kill NiXit over the past couple days.
The ugly:


turkey buzzard vs Vette @ about 120mph. Could have been much worse for the driver... the bird definitely wasn't happy.

So what did we do out there at the Big Bend Open Road Race? Pretty much like red lighting in drag racing, we were a little too anxious. A couple small errors compounded got us disqualified from the race for violations of timing/speed requirements for our class. Needless to say I'm way bummed about not finishing, but on the bright side I got to run 1/2 the race and Nick and I learned a TON about how to go about competing in an open road race... and believe me, after Saturday's first run, I've found a higher calling. Nothing like driving down a 2 lane road and apexing in the left lane on a blind corner at 135mph w/o fear of oncoming traffic or police. Except doing it faster! ;-)

I'll post up more details on ttzd.com at some point soon. The couple days I took off to run the race are causing a huge game of 'catch up' in my garage right now...
