I recall the impact...I was indeed off the ideal line, but we know the runway surface is degradating and hope the course layout folks can take that into account with minor adjustments.
:)
If an STI has alignment issues I might as well just sit at car shows in parking lots? :o :headscratch:

Looking forward to the 14th, then I'll see what this course really looks like, these maps are deceptive...

You need more company in S3, Nate. Where's the rest of the G8 contingent?

Well Joan is probably still in the shop and I don't know where Mac with the other white G8 is hiding. Either way I'm the only S3 G8.

Mike H. and his 1LE needs to sign up already, so I can spank them this go around. :-D Don't be scared Mike I'll make it close :snicker:
and where's Mike Murdoch?

Nope, you guys need to drag out more Mustangs, too!

The point is: Muscle cars are EVERYWHERE... and yet there are only 4 entries in S3. Bring your friends!

Uh... I don't have a lot of details, but Paul's new GT bit the dust. He's okay, and I'm sure he'll be back out with its replacement sooner or later.

Tim has a "Prostreet" Nova and I have a "Prostate" Vette :rolling:

Both look great but one has more dribbles.

Alas, Nate's right. I'm stuck in the repair shop song and dance. It's looking likely that I won't be able to attend this one either. :cry:

I thought about it, but concluded that I'm simultaneously too old and too young to be comfortable tempting the fates. Plus, driving this car leaves me dead inside. Excuses, excuses..

Oh they're there, but if you're looking for them, you're doing it wrong.
