Team WTF?! alternative photos
Team WTF?! may as well have been deleted from the 2008 DC Pro Solo this year, (as the SCCA had actually tried to do to John V) for as well as they did. After saturday morning runs, the four Team WTF?! members competing in A Stock held not only first place, but 3 of the remaining 6 trophy spots. By the end of afternoon runs, they held two...and that's how they finished up by the end of Sunday morning. Of course, they were two lower trophy spots than they went into Sunday with. 
Practice Start Line 
Highlights (or lowlights, depending) included the following: - The
SUCCA SCCA accidentally deleting John V from the event (presumably) while correcting Super Guid-O's car number.
- After Saturday's runs, Clyde held a 0.001 advantage over Super Guid-O. A lead he stretched out to a paltry 0.079 on Sunday as Super Guid-O could not find any time on the left nor get a time on the right.
- Clyde being picked as the first alternate for the Chase Cam
Bogus Bonus Challenge, but was not able to run as the SCCA worked through its own Team WTF?! style mail merge issues.
- In true Team WTF?! style, Bren, who did make it into the CCBC, slept at the lights in for the first run with an RT of about 1.8 seconds, and coned his run on the other side. Afterwards, he was overheard telling Clyde, "I already had the car on the trailer. If you'd just said that you wanted to run, I would have left the car there, you idiot. Now I looked like a fool instead." We guess Clyde was the actual fool, but you decide.
- For the second time in the past three DC Pro Solos, Team WTF?!
nutso ace photographer BahnBaum did not run (we suspect that he's still gunshy about killing the Team WTF?! A Stock C4 at the line at the 2007 DC Pro), but showed up to take photos of nearly everyone.
- Non-Team WTF?! member Rodney desperately wants to join Team WTF?! He followed up blowing his clutch at Devens (doesn't seem to know that he needs to blow a tranny in a place called Peru) by losing not only his hood, but also his umbrella in DC.

We're skipping Peru this year, but will be back for more self flagellation in Toledo July 4th weekend. See you there!
