Congrats on the win! Too bad the only reason you won was because I wasn't there.

Good work Noel. Must be exciting.

I haven't even raced in competition yet. Just test & tunes. I'm hoping for beginner's luck at Norwalk.

Congrats Noel. Now when the youngsters at the track give you crap about your age you can just smile and say "Older but faster".

Good job!

Congrats man, your time was due.
