Another first place for the Cobalt in ds.

Dnf, 61.something +2, dnf, 59.18

The site was very slippery and I kept over shooting corners. Finally got a clean run and moved from last to first. Got 1st by 1.5 seconds over an ms3.

My codriver didn't have very good luck. =(

Vids and pix soon

Yeah. Nice meeting ya man!

That course had a few spots that kinda lured you into making mistakes. Allowed me to get high into 2nd only to kick me in the ass and remind me to slow down.

The detroit region has not used that lot in years. It was quite dusty and I found that if I got a little off line there was no point in trying to get back.

I was in last place out of a 6 car field till my last run My co-driver/car owner wasn't pleased as he was getting excited that he finally beat me.

Very nice vids!
