Ryan, your W31 ran well in the time trials when I was there on Friday. Good chatting with you in the pits. Congrats on your wins on Saturday. Looks like your seat time and shifting had paid off.

PSMCDR was a hoot, I drove Des’ Mr Transmission truck and a rented trailer with my Cutlass Thursday to be ready to go Friday morning. Amy came Friday and surprised me by bringing my Mom. (It was so nice to share the experience with them.

I got to visit with so many friends!!!

Bob Ashton even brought me a binder full of W Machine muscle car magazines.

The car worked very well, I set the rev limiter at 6,200 and I hit it several times.

One time I thought things were going south but as far as I can tell I took off in first and somehow shifted into fourth…. that is not optimal….. all was well and I took a couple test runs through the gears and got back at it.

I went down the strip 23 times!!!

ET, and MPH were very similar to 2019.

I even got to race Dave Heilala’s RamRod Rob Thomas driving.

Several of the MSU Project W31 students came to see me race.

Those shirts were a limited production run, like a COPO of sorts :-)
