Nate, and the rest of M2, don't get too comfortable, but I'll be out of town for the next two points events. You're welcome...

I'm a little behind on this one. (that happens when we do events 8 days apart) I've got a good idea... just want to make it a little longer. Will probably get that done tonight. Then have to run it through the Safety Review. Should have it in a few days. :thumbwink:

If I was scared I would make a point of being being at every event. I'll give you the cushion you need so it's close at the end of the season.

You able to show up guys are getting kind of ballsy for not seeing the next course map yet. Even Farm Truck would have sucked last weekend without Loren's advice the last three runs. :lol:

I'll tell you - having driven Matt's race car only once in over a year. It's faster than anything I own!! Drop your pants and drop your springs. He'll be back and it will sting.

Riiiight. You're clearly not seeing the hundreds of feet of straights in that course.

BTW, it's mostly the same course that we used on 9/10/2016, just extended on the far end.
