This morning's practice was in the middle section, the famous "W's" which are completely paved. Todd says in this section you just "point and shoot" and I say, hopefully you don't notice the extreme exposure on many of the corners.
This has been the warmest Pikes Peak week since we started in 2008 and we are enjoying it. I got out the camp stove and we enjoyed early morning burritos while Todd and Geezer successfully ran the W's.

| The late model Camaro, AKA The Dark Horse, split his oil pan on a rock. We hope he can get it fixed in time to race tomorrow. |
