Rubber Toes - Robert Rose

A week late…what can I say?

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.

Back to Firebird West this weekend!

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?

To the Moon!

ARR#2 Event Recap

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.
