Your codriver tells the truth. Maybe you don't recall, but I did apologize to you for the marks. :oops:
I remember, just teasing you by blaming him. It wiped right off. Thank you again he had a blast and will hopefully be out again!

I know for a fact it's a 47+ second old Mustang course if you don't do the pregnant part and just do balls to the wall twice thru the slalom. That was just nuts fun doing that mistake.

5 runs??? 10 seconds off each average run = 750 seconds = 12.5min x 4 = 50 minutes less on the day? Ought to be good for 62 more runs? It's close to doable I think?

My last run... I have to admit, this course was one of my favorites!

Yes I know. :bangwall: The old muffler blew out a baffle so I had to put on a new one... not sure I like it. It's a little too ricey sounding for me. At normal running speeds it's a little quieter. At full throttle I think it's just a resonant chamber, the exhaust gas seems to over power it. I liked the nice throaty sound my old one had.
