Step2Racing headed up to Minnesota for Nemadji I this past weekend. It was a last minute entry, as I wasn’t sure the car would be ready in time. That meant Jay had made other plans so Colin stepped in to codrive for me. Colin codrove this event last year, so we both knew what to expect.

I started out a bit too tentative, knowing I had to drive clean if I was going to keep the car together for upcoming events. Comparing times at the turnaround, I was 4th in G2, and 30 seconds off the pace.
On the second stage, I started pushing a bit more, and was able to take advantage of others’ misfortune to finish third in G2 for the first event, and eighth overall.

The second event was a repeat of the first two stages. I knocked 10-15 seconds off of my earlier times, and finished the second event with a 2nd place G2 finish, and 5th overall.

It was enough to keep me on top of the Cendiv G2 Regional standings, and with no damage to the car, I can run Gravity Park in two weeks.

We had some issues with the camera mount, so I didn’t get any good video, but if you turn your head sideways and take some Dramamine, you should be able to watch.
