Just aim for M2 times.

Looks like I'm the only S4 entry for the early session. :( I hate being out there and not having anyone in my class to compare to!
Concentrate on the bullseye on the back of the fastiva. If that's too easy, chase raw times.

Jason would have to look in his mirror to see the FASTiva.

Hmmm...there were a few others in there the other day. You must have frightened them off. You can always transfer to the afternoon group...Philip needs someone there he can catch. :)

Yes it would be nice to have someone to catch up to for a change. I normally have to sandbag all my runs just to make it interesting.

Philip did you ever find out what was wrong with your suspension? Or was your sandbag misplaced?

Keith,
Does your hotwater tank have a blower on it? Or does your house flood? Yikes.

Oh well. Have to get a clean one in then go for broke haha.
Jason,

I now have RE71's and a decent Joe B alignment on the Vette. You need to take ON Philip in it one day soon. You both could save a couple runs at some event? My two decades over you two is not a good thing. BUT I will try to get a See Alice run and drive you both home. ACTUALLY I want you both to thump David L who might try to beat you both in it? I'm probably moving on with cars so don't dally with the opportunity. Too soon old too late smart. David is also allowed to thump himself with two runs in the Vette if he so wishes against his FoCuss. Life without a car payment is faster than technology. Then there's that Dave guy. A fight might break out?

Lol no. it's gas, it has to have an exhaust for CO2.

Ps, don't judge my garage. It's spring cleaning time. ;)

I like that idea if we both end up at a Classic at Brooksville! I might be at the one on the 28th but I don't think I would feel comfortable with the Vette at the dog track...

I've never driven the Dog Track myself. It might be an issue for a low slung car from what I've heard. Might try a taller car there? We'll all hook up one day. Jason respects the machine. Another reason I respect him as a driver. Plus he gave Ron and Dan a reason to live :lol:
