What? Brian K. is planning to return in March? Darn, my chances of getting a pretty little sticker will be much smaller.

In all seriousness, it's great to hear from you Brian. It's harder to tell how sloppy my driving is without you in the mix.

I probably won't make it, between work and required car maintenance...

Hint to the J-police - keep an eye on Brian K.

I thought Brian was a member of the J-police? Is there corruption on the force?

FYI, I've now got J-acceptable suspension on the Yaris and a new set of Star Specs on the way...

Now, where the hell did I put all the bolts for that back seat?

Corruption? Never heard of such a thing.

I thought long and hard about this, but I'm in...signed up today. I asked myself if I'd rather watch the SPGP, watch others drive... or make some lefts and rights myself.
Finally, I'd rather stand on the right pedal than sit and watch all day.

Do I understand correctly we have sticky, clean new asphalt at SP?

Looking forward to seeing y'all (and some lateral g-forces, too)

Charles- I was thinking the exact same thing.

Mike- I hear you on the participating rather than spectating side of things and yes, there's new asphalt at SPC.

Wow, up to 52 this weekend. :shock: Looking forward to the course map. Gotta figure out whether I need to rotate my tires. My left front took a beating in February.

There are a few cars in G that don't belong...
41 St. Hilaire, Nick
Oldsmar, FL 90 Mazda Miata red
77 Nyman, Carl
Apollo Beach, FL 93 Mazda MX5 Black
89 Swayne, Jim [N]
Tierra Verde, FL 08 Subaru WRX Sti White
98 Swayne, Elizabeth [N]
Tierra Verde, FL 08 Subaru WRX Sti White

STi goes up one, miatas go down one.
And that Merc E63 isn't in the rulebook as far as I can see. I guess it can stay there though.

Since we're talking about miss-classed cars, both FFR (Factory Five Racing Cobra Replicas) should be in R. The Mercedes can stay in G, it'll be fun having him with us. Unless someone else in our class thinks he should be in F.
