    I need a ride, too. Got room in the back seat for me?
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    The AX school/test-n-tune was packed today. We did not get near as many runs in as we had hoped, but we did get enough in to dial the car in for tomorrow. The car felt great today, but we put stiffer springs on tonight, so it should be awesome tomorrow. We also got to try a skid pad on concrete and found out that I have a lot of understeer that I could not shake. I might have to go with a bigger rear bar on concrete (Nationals).

    Yep, the car felt great! There was some understeer on the skid pad, but it didn't really translate directly to the course. In large sweepers on the course the car was very workable with the gas pedal.

    I can't wait to drive it with the 700 lb/in front springs.

    You're gonna love the revalved shocks and the stiffer springs. It felt great! Plus, it still has a better-than-stock ride when set to soft. The ASTs are greatness.

    Brad and I co-drove it today. He took the early lead, but I took him by just under a tenth on my final run. Good times. Brad turned into one fast mo-fo!

    I learned this the hard way.....

    Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.

    Thanks. I was a little suprised where we ended up in the PAX results, but those are some damn good drivers in front of us... except for Ken O. He just lucked into it.

    A&M's new site is very nice. They set up a nice fun course I just wish it wasn't a 3 1/2 hours drive.

    Had fun accept for a couple of yahoos in a miata on street tires beating me on straight time. Where did I leave that excuse generator? found it. It rained right before my heat, yea thats it.


    Good job guys just don't let it happen agin.









    (it was dry during my heat)
