Funny, we were commenting on the noise your car was making when you pulled up for your very first run yesterday. Glad it didn't leave you stranded!

I knew it was on its way out, but Rotrex does not support rebuilding their superchargers, so no OEM parts are available. I decided to run it until ...

I had a great time at another well run FAST event. Unfortunately, my supercharger did not. Based on the noises it was making, it had been infested by angry birds. Well, somewhere south of Williston, the birds left, and they took the boost with them. I stopped in Williston and removed the belt to ...

Is there a map forthcoming?

Please post pictures of the project. I may decide to paint my Miata at some point, and it would help to see how much you are disassembling and how you're doing your masking.

I really enjoyed this course, and the weather was near perfect, depending whether you thought the stiff breeze was a plus or a minus. I learned some about tire pressure, mostly that I didn't have enough early on.

I was very pleased to take the second place sticker in MA, and would like to thank ...

It was a fun, yet grueling event. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The seat time was awesome. It will be interesting to see how you tweak the format based on what you learned today. I think it has great potential. I won't be sharing my car on the next one though. Between me and Tyler, we had both ...

But, over the past 3 days, I'm averaging one cancel or class change every 12 hours. So, I'm not posting anything at all because until everyone has arrived tomorrow morning, I don't know for sure who's going to be present, what they're going to be driving, and what the classes will be.


Speaking ...

Loren,
I don't suppose you would consider posting the pairings for the preliminary rounds? Would be nice to know who we're up against so we can initiate the psychological warfare.

...we've bumped our registration limits to 60 drivers and 20 guests!

That will be full of awesomeness as long as we don't have to reduce the number of runs to accommodate the extra drivers.

For those who thought they missed their chance at the morning session, Phillip Russel and I are switching to the afternoon. Grab one of our spots if you want it.

I loved the course. It was set up much better than the last time we ran it. I know I could have picked up some time if I had set up better for the crossover and carried more speed through it. Wasn't looking far enough ahead.

I'm glad to be back in my M2 Miata even though I don't stand a chance at ...

Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

Poor Ron, Pax is being mean. You could always take up golf...

That sux.

, why yes it does.

The only thing that would suck worse is if you had to pay someone else to do your wrenching. Mad skills are good to have.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Ron and Drew were skeered of Ben. Ron says golf only takes one ball. I guess PAX takes three.

Hmmmm. Afraid to ask...

Almost felt bad that I’d possibly get an easy 1st in MO this season, thanks Ron and Dan for setting the new bar.

Yeah, I was hoping for an easy third place today. If not for Ron and Dan, I still would have been DFL, but at least I'd have a sticker. I guess I'll go slinking back to M2, where at ...

You pretty much signed up for that, didn't you? I mean, the alternative is "OMG, Mark Hackett beat me in my own car! How could that have happened?" You've seen him drive, right?

Thanks for sticking around, Jason! We're glad you find us worthy of your time.

And thanks for running a great organization. FAST is the only club I have raced with so I have no basis for comparison but outside of installing air conditioning at our sites I'm not sure how it could be better. :dunno ...
