Yes. I have a plan. Everyone writes off 3 slowest runs in points. I really don't need 2pts for winning the (trailer queen) R1 class. It would be "way" better if one of the 'only' great crazy good drivers to have "not ever" driven my "lame ass" R1 Vette 100q tires would accompany me for 4 runs or 2 runs in 2 classes?

So here's the deal. The Alien Drew gets 2 to 4 runs in my R1 Vette which i will actually drive there. Either way I get 2 points. 1st or 2nd. Drew can still run in two classes or like who cares (assuming he is ahead)? We drop 3 events in points (thanks to the Mayor). I have yet to finish last in R1. Whoa. Drew you can set a new record. The Mayor last in a class.

Who knows? More R1 folks? There were 6 last weekend. Trailer park? I get more points with 6 participants:)

If you want I can hire an AA tow to bring my car there to qualify? Still get 2 pts.

3/32" of Toyo R888R is pretty fast.

Drew - sign up as 119, 91, 9 or the "phantom" in R1? You are the second to last guy I will invite to an event. I have another one for the next event. There might be more? I should live so long. I think I can beat The Drew:)

The Mayor.

Thru start thru station 1 is confusing? The world's tightest slalom would be indicated but you show straight thru? Gates are 2 cones.

i'm inviting Drew to co-drive is all. More contests to follow.

It's just a double lane-change. Shift to the right. Shift back to the left.

Drew's okay as long as you let him stay in Bewst.

Dang it! No cones at the end of the course marking off the turnaround! The double lane change looks fun though...
