Rubber Toes – Robert Rose

2 days, 2 wins. It was great event, but certainly a tough fight for the wins. The track was hot and slow, with everyone about .5- .7 off the track records. Unfortunately, it affected me too as the best I could muster was 1:07 flat. It was another busy weekend helping other drivers push their limit. I worked with my DE2 crew but still made time to hangout with my inaugural class, now in DE3/4 for a bit. Fresh competition in a strong car with a fast driver joined the TTD party. The track records I have been beating this year were held by a very fast Nissan 240, and now it’s in the hands of another capable driver. With a best time of 1:07.5 by the Nissan, it is clear the battle will fierce throughout the remainder of the year. Unfortunately again, I know I can improve on my car and the driver combination! Next event isn’t until October, so I have started my mtn bike fitness regimen in preparation of the upcoming DCB series.

From 6-1030am, both Saturday and Sunday I will be @ Firebird West for the NASA-AZ event. I will be competing in the TTD class as I now look to build on my new points lead. I broke the track record there in March; 1:06.53. So the goal is to improve on that and win both days.

I will also be mentoring the HPDE 2 drivers and we get our own run group so I can really help my drivers get up to their comfort level.

Where will you be?

Hiked dreamy draw trail 1A last night. Powered by moonlight!

Just got back from the 5k running event. My goal was to finish under 24minutes. I finished in 23min 59sec! Given I haven’t run in like 6months or even competed in a running event in a year I was pleased with the result.
