After a VERY VERY long drive, I am able to say that i'm back in the great state of Texas. I got home this morning about 9 o'clock.

Looking back on things in Pomona, I was pleased with how things went. Showing up without making a full pass in the car at all, taking the pole in the second session and sitting out the third to remain #1. I have to say things went ok.

I guess for now i can still blame my horribly bad reaction times on the fact that it is a new car and i'm not completely comfortable. ( i Hope thats the cause ) so that is the case that I'm pleading as of now.

As for second round "Rear wing..... I dont need no stinking rear wing."

About 150-200 ft out the car went into some average tire shake which isn't uncommon so my first reaction was to grab some brake and try to save the run. Just as I did so the car quickly became unsteady and felt as if it were hazing the tire. My immediate thought was to pedal it but by that time Federlin was long gone so there wasn't any point in taking a chance of hurting parts for nothing, and i just aborted the run.

Once i was off the track and out of the car the first words i heard from anyone was, " hey you left your wing at the line." Looking back to see just a bare stand at the back of the car. Yes a very awkard feeling.

Tom is on his way home now with the rig and should be back at the shop sometime tomorrow i suspect. I think there will be some definate changes made to the design of the wing stand and the car will now carry the larger dual element wing.

The next race isn't until March 3 in Belle Rose, La. so theres plenty of time for all the changes that need to be done and all the decisions that need to be made.

I would like to say thanks to the guys this weekend for all the extra effort they put into the car.
Shane, Cody, Mike, thank you.
