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]

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]
I just watched the speed coverage... it was Rapp that touched me. I was holding him up through two turns and he tried to come up the inside of me on the exit of 8a and I got some gnarly headshake.
Great work Steve, you even got a mention! [thumbsup]
