.
I had a great time at the GGP and enjoyed meeting everyone.
I was however slightly surprised with my results.
I figured a last place finish was likely since I was driving a whale.
I was wrong...
I was denied that title by a modded 2005 V-6 gas Ford Ranger that posted 22.43 mpg for the track event.
The Dodge truck I was driving weighed 5000 pounds
more than the Ford Ranger, yet it somehow achieved 22.67 mpg at the event.
A scant .24 mpg
better...
So much for the coveted last place finish.
As Maxwell Smart would say "Missed it by that much".
The other surprising thing was that they presented me with an award for "Best in class".
Why was I surprised...???
Could it have been the vehicle...???
Driving skill...???
MPG...???
Or for some other merit...???
Well, no...
It"s because I was the
only one in that class... Lol...
However, getting something is always better than nothing...
Besides, it will look good hanging in the shop.
If your thinking of attending the next GGP .
Just do it.
You won't regret it...
