Chu, Doug.... What time are you guys headed out? I think I'm gonna leave the crib by 6:40. I'm working 8-9:30. Did you guys get work assignments?

Marc, you did get your car back from being aligned correct?

See you guys in the am. Should be a great day.

Glad you had a good time Robert. It was nice meeting you. I hope you come out to the next one.

Another note, I'm looking for both left and right fender liners. Someone let me know if you or someone you know have some for sale.

man I was beat from this weekend. Between racing @ Monticello on Friday, doing stuff around the house on Sat and racing again on Sunday the weekend just flew by. I got home yesterday around 5pm, played with Luke till bedtime at 7 and fell asleep Woke up 11 hours later!!!

Pete thanks for not hitting too many cones & more importantly not beating my time seriously though, you're a considerate co-driver and welcome to share the car anytime.

Chu too bad you couldn't stick around for the whole day but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Doug, nice driving today, what else can I say, you kept us all on our toes.

Happy Monday!!

How was everyone's weekend???

Marc, I can't thank you enough. I really needed that, its been a long 2months without her. Hats off to you sir for letting me share your whip. Once again sorry about the cones. I can't wait till the times are up.

Doug, nice driving yesterday brother. Sorry you had to stick around to work that final heat. Get on the discussion boards before the next event so you can get your work in early.

Robert, it was nice meeting you yesterday. Sorry we didn't have a whole lot of time to chat. Yesterdays event was a little wierd in that sense. Next time we'll do soem more bs-ing.

Chu, sorry you couldn't stay, I know you had more important things to tend to.

I finally got a little bit of an update on my car. Seems ALL the sparkplug holes are *itched up. #2 is completely gone, whick I kind of knew already. I need to order new coils as well. I'm still hoping to have the car by friday *fingers crossed* as thats a deadline for me due to family. We'll see how things go...

Doug told me you guys were all very close in times. I can't thank him enough for letting me use the car also. Anyways, have a lot of work to do today, so I won't be posting much.

I'm glad he got it off FINALLY!
maybe it would be better to just get a new/used head instead of trying to repair your old one.

Chu it was VERY close all day, at one point I think we were within hundreths!!

I never said it was off...

Lend me your creditcard and I'll get right on buying a new one.

No, unless is completely trashed I'll stick to what I've got.

Robert, glad you had a fun time man. It was fun watching your definite improvement throughout the day! Just watching the first compared to last run was a night and day difference. Hopefully you'll stick with it and those times will continue to drop.

Chu again no problem, like I said no sense in having anyone miss an event because their car is down. It was a fun time watching my car go around the track without myself behind the wheel!

Marc and Pete, def enjoyed our little battle in the afternoon heat. However I think Pete got the best of us, being the only one not succumbing to the pressure and keeping his last run clean with his best time of the day. Hope your car can be back in action soon. And Marc glad you're back behind your own wheel finally.

However I did quite enjoy learning a lot more about my cars characteristics. Finally starting to get an understanding of weight transfer on turn ins, and especially where I like my tire pressure at. Seems I tend to like a tail happy car a little bit more, which I got plenty of times at the back half of that course!! First time I successfully controlled it I came off with a HUGE smile and best clean run of the day

Looking forward to the next one.

I keep tellin ya'll you NEED to do a track day! If you think a few 30 second runs at an AX is fun try a 20 minute session
