Nice work. I wish I could have gone but I had to work that day and I'm not supposed to be racing (or doing much of anything else) until my right hand heals (tore a ligament playing hockey). I do recognize some of the vehicles in the pits behind you so I guess I'm going to have to get a bit of practice in down there before the Points season begins in 2-3 weeks.

One word of advice on the waterbox: unless you are running slicks you are best to avoid the water completely. Street tires so not need to be warmed up and the burn outs can actually make your traction worse (like when you had water in your grooves). Go around the box and do a 2-second dry hop and that's all you need.

Once the Points season starts, you should try to come down on one of those Sundays and I'll work on a few things with you there then.
