Some of the Atlanta guys trained a dog to fetch cones:

And if they gave out trophies for simply being badass runner up would be the dragon exige:

But first place would have to be this C4 Vette. The announcers put it best, "It Sounds Like America!":

Great shots as always Brad!
So if we trained enough dogs to fetch cones, and chimpanzees to work the radios & red flags, we could eliminate a lot of work assignments. A chimp could probably do a better job of running the computer than I do anyway!
I think the XPro class has been good for all of us in it this year. We've all been pushing each other to go faster and be more consistent. We need to keep that up and get a few more in the class too.
Now, if I can just figure out how to make my car sound like America!
Andrew and I had a chat online about my black car and his last year...he's a good guy with about $500 more than me...so he's a good guy with a budget to win :)

Does that mean that they will penalize boosted XP cars with more ballast?Quote:

Those were the talking points at the Town Hall PAC meeting. In general, there seemed to be support for reducing minimum weights in XP and maybe in some of the other Prepared classes.Quote:
