$10 Bill for anyone who beats me in S2 in the PM. Sadly, I have Awake Apnea before 10AM and cannot breath. $20 Bill to anyone in S2 who beats me by over one second.
$30 bill to any woman who beats me period.

There are the Lawsons, Jason, That guy in the white BRZ, Matt, That guy with the Z350, et al. You know who have beaten me all year. For anyone who has beaten me all year $20 for you too if you can do it by over one second.

The Mazda is ready and am I too.

After all this is the FINALE. Bring some game.

Bring a tenner for the wiper. You know the deal. I'm down to Steve a 20. You can win M2 with this car. Take some bets. Pay to fix the Fastiva. Oh, if you lose you have to pay me $10. That ought to make you sweat bullets?

Okay, here it is! Something a little shorter this time. Trying to guarantee 5 runs for our Season Finale.

Well he'll be driving my car so lets just hope that doesn't happen. :grin:

Interesting course. Little shorter than normal but looks fun. I guess we'll find out who sucks at slaloms and who doesn't!

I have made a note to enter "autocross" not "rallycross" in the GPS, I should be fine now.

Granted. I happen to have one which will suit you nicely. #19 is in use in S2. 119 or any variation of that is available wherever you want to enter. It's a magnet school. I have 8'sor 6's too. AND 1's:) Just tell Loren which class you want to annihilate in the PM class!! I only sing $tenor. :thumbwink:

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I still need something to drive for this event. I don't even care if I take my 5 runs in 5 different cars! (that's kinda fun, actually)

Now, I'm still fighting for 2nd place in M3. So, whatever I drive needs to be M3 eligible. That pretty much means anything in M3, M4, S4 or S5. The only cars I won't drive are Chase Helm's Civic and Joe Vance's Miata. I don't think it would be fair to Tyler (my nemesis, the only person who can keep me out of 2nd for the season) for me to compete in one of the obvious "class winning" cars. I want to win, but I want to win fairly.

Philip has already offered up his S4 Miata (which is really an S5 Miata with really bad shocks). I may take him up on that, but I'd rather drive something that I can actually drive well. Me and Philip's car just don't get along! So, whatcha got that I can take a run in and maybe give Tyler a bit of a challenge? Bonus points if it's front wheel drive with good tires. (similar to the FASTiva that I should be driving)

Well Loren, I'll be back in the afternoon. I signed up for FN but with the coilover kit that puts me in M4... on all seasons :lol:
If you'd like to take a run or two, you're more than welcome.
It already feels good to be back! I'm really excited to finally feel the Corolla out with these new shocks. Normal driving is well and good, but FAST is where its at! 8-)

You need to connect with Ben and put the FASTiva wheels (with RE71's) on your car! Unless Ben's put them on his car, I'm not sure what he's planning. That would be a hoot!

Loren,
My car is available if you want to take some (or all) runs in it. Now, how do I get these bonus points? :grin: :dunno:
