grrr.. wish I didn't have my sister's wedding to attend. I am with Leh.. I want a chance to run against him.

I guess my "number 2" Daddio will have to suffice.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Seriously though, I am really looking forward to running against him. Should be a blast.

Phew, I'm glad I'm running in the street class

This is shaping up to be a great event, hopefully more Evolution owners will show up. The street class is a great class to run, whether you are a novice or track **** (like myself)

The new Shenadoah course is a real tough course as well. I ran there with the BMWCCA (I know the region president, hence the reason I was able to run with them) and personally witnessed 3, yes 3, brand spanking new M3s eat the wall during an open track day.

The track has been altered somewhat since then (they moved a few walls back and added some tire barriers) but, it is still a nice course, especially the Nurburgring bowl!!!

I shared a garage with Tarzan and his 800 hp Skyline GT-R at the Redline Time Attack at Calif. Speedway last April. He had the overall fastest laptime.
