Look who qualified for his first national.  (I'm Steve -- qualified near the bottom, but on the grid!)

Excellent! Especially after the "little incident" you had in the leadup. I'll be paying special attention to the race now. Great work! [thumbsup]

You beat Chaz Davies! LOL http://www.amaproracing.com/prorace/raceres/rr/racres.asp?cls=fe&snct=p8225&type=f&rnum=1&year=2008

He had two crashes in the lead-up. The latest was a high-side in turn 2 Wednesday at Keigwin's. It was heartbreaking...I was ready to go out for my final session when I saw the 749Grrr being trailered in. I could only stay out for a couple of laps before coming in...I was a bit too concerned & distracted. But Steve recovered, and his lap times only got better. To me, that's the sign of a true pro!  [thumbsup]

Wait until you see the race....  you'll understand why I took special satisfaction finishing ahead of Chaz in the points.

I saw the race, but I must've missed something...  Why is that?  Did he bump you on his way by or something?

It was a really tight kawasaki sandwich headed into 9.  Chaz ever so lightly grazed my elbow.  I thought it was a totally clean pass and I was really impressed.  I'm unsure whether it was intentional -- I don't think it was.

He wanted to pet the Tiger... ;D

I almost crashed into Davies on the Ruckus in the hot pits. Dude stepped out of his tent and toward the porta-pottie without looking. I didn't quite have the presence of mind to take him out for ya, but his mechanics seem to have taken care of that for me  ;D

Ahh, gotcha thanks.  Again, congrats on your achievement!  And it must've been pretty cool to race with those guys.  [beer]
