Da Groj

Was just looking at the season points and realized that it's impossible for me to trophy in M0. I'll only have four events in class, five are required!

That is a whole bunch of stagger, I suppose that is what happens when you hang the engine off the back axle? I assume you got your Hankooks from the Tire Rack at the closeout price?

No worries Loren, it is now impossible for me to catch you in S2. I sold the bimmer last Friday. Unless I can bum a ride in a competitive S2 car and win the next 2 events, you've got that locked up now.

I hope my new steamrollers make it in time! (my wheels aren't this wide though)

They're great tires while they last, they heat cycle well and maintain grip, problem is they don't last long.

What!! No more Barney jokes? Those stopped when you started beating everyone.

You were so darn fast in that thing Hope you made a shitton of $$ off him.

Sorry can't help you in S2 as running in S3 the last two events in Shamu.

Damn, if I don't miss the last two points events, I will just squeak in. If I somehow end up winning the class because of Loren's default, then we need to place a asterisk next to my name, because it's a win by a technicality.

We always put an question mark next to your name, Brian.

I fixed my last post and made it a little more clear.

Meh, it's all good. If I was really worried about a trophy, I'd have kept running in S2 and locked it in.

Les, no kidding about the stagger! Yes, they are compensating for my "interesting" weight distribution. No, I didn't get the closeout prices. These are the new generation tires. They had fronts in my size in the closeout, but not rears. I wanted to get a matching set.

We are at the bottom of the second page and still no course map?

Drew asked for the results first. Working on that. Then I'll get you a course map.

*Brian* Who's the guy with the two asstricks?

You were wise to do that. The "on sale" Tire Rack Rivals I got were actually manufactured nearly a year before I got them. They are still great tires but one has to wonder why they laid around so long? AND are they as good as fresh smelly gooey ones?

I just couldn't take the Barney jokes!! Long story short, it was a good opportunity and price to get out of the M3. I'm trying to convince the new owner to bring it out to a few events...Don't worry, I'll be picking up something equally competitive, albeit in a different class. NO, it won't be a miata.

Does that change the results that Loren is working on?

I'm almost done with the results. Think anyone would notice if I posted them before the event?

I'm registered, but for the afternoon session. I have a feeling I'm going to need to give the body shop all the time they need to get my car back to me. Total damage was $8k and I'm not expected to get it back until the week of this event! Crossing my fingers i'll get it back in time for this event, and have new shoes on her!

That sucks having a brand new car hammered on!! Won't wish that on anyone. I could get a couple Shamu's for that.

Not to worry you can co-drive Shamu (2LE) if your car isn't ready in the afternoon. THEN we'll see if you can really drive and make Mike, Nathan and Alex happy at the same time

I'm betting you could bat better than 600 doing that. Do I smell a contest?
