Greatest
Accomplishment On The
Track:
The final |
|
round is Las Vegas
against Allen Wiess.
The winner of |
|
that race would win the
Championship.
Earlier that day I
|
|
had to swap the gearbox
so I lost out on a
qualifying |
|
opportunity (almost 2)
and had to deal with a
box that |
|
had different ratios.
Allen, as well as the
other class |
|
competitors are always
tough and as you would
expect |
|
that final round was
very close, luckily for
me I was on the |
|
winning side. That
race could have gone
either way. |
