Hopefully that works, FB is weird with sharing links from an event after it is past, but basically that's all the info I had going in.
Walked the track after the driver's meeting, all seemed as expected with some areas I thought would need to be forcibly slow in order to not tear things up.
Beater cars first, then SxS, then Modified. One and done, no practice, no safety runs. Going last, at least I got a good chance to watch how other vehicles handled the course.

Beater cars were allowed to buy back in to Modified if they weren't broken and wanted a second shot. This was fine until the SxS guys rushed the entry table and got themselves buy-backs also.
There were three actual Modified entries.

There is a video on someone's phone of my whole run. I got to watch it, but haven't received it or found it anywhere yet.
The truck handled the first jump really well and the whoops were less bad than I anticipated. I need to watch the video to see where the shock mount pushed thru, but I cleared the double by too much, biffed the second 180°, clutch kicked the third one, and realized the left front was collapsed going over the big roller.
The whole lower mount pushed thru the control arm. I need to get it apart today and see how bad the shock is beat up. This was an area I had concern over but just ran out of time to address.
If I take the SxS entries out of the run group results I finished third behind the long travel s10 in the link above, and a Beater Cherokee who went 7sec faster on his second run than he ran in his own class.
First time for the promoter, first time for the event at this fair, and first time I have had four tires in the air since I was a dumb teenager. Good times.
