Kudos Matt, Great driving in terrible conditions , I suspect your non mag racing really helped you here.
Happy for, you

I think you're right, Chappy. Those non mag slot car driving skills must have come into play, particularly after the deluge began. The writer even referenced it within the article about his win:

"McDonough and GTP won the first F2000 Championship in 2006. McDonough last drove in F2000 in 2013 and most recently competed in a 24-hour slot car race."

Maybe Matt should be thanking those Cloverleaf guys for honing his competitive edge.

Congrats! Sounds like a heck of a race and you even got slot cars mentioned! Hat trick if I ever saw one!

Wow, way to go Matt. Must have been an awesome end to the race. And to win at the line. :dance:

Congratulations, Matt! Way to make the most of the opportunity!

Thanks everyone!
It's like that old expression about the blind squirrel....

Non-mag indeed... Non-mag and Talc.... I had a bit of help from above for sure and I've been in the same situation a long time ago - so experience finally paid off.... It takes me an hour to tell the story but all the action happened in 10 seconds - the rest was just hanging on....

VIR is the first weekend in June - I'll put up another post when we get near that one! Maybe we can setup a track for the down time and get an IROC race going!
