Really enjoyed the first time out. Had a sense the car was capable of more which kind of surprises me because you never see the limit on the street and it's a lot farther out than you think. The tire wear shows I didn't really wear down a lot of rubber. I got a lot to learn Frustrating at times when my momentum was interrupted by traffic but it was so nice to get some laps in where we (Chau, Tim and I) had some clear track until we caught up with the train.

458 point by was nice, even though I didn't mind looking at it from behind. That M3 was slow in the turns, I think BMW pride has a lot to do with not giving point by.

We should have gotten bumped up!

I had to give Chau a point by on the straight because he was practically tapping my shoulder from the back seat!

Saw a flame the length of an intercooler pipe wave for about 10 seconds out the back of Chu's car as Chau rolled it around the light bulb.

thats a good think cause dan would give you a beat down.

The flame coming out of the exhaust on chu's car looked like a camp fire, no fire ball just a steady flow of fire, putting the rx7s to shame

robert, you were doing good out there, wish we could have stayed as a group but the traffic wasn't having that

Robert, I think you got more tire wear from that huge pothole you hit with 4 of us in the car. That definitely bent a wheel. Lol

Pretty sure thats what I'm gonna do. If you go you'll take 3rd overall, provided you score more than 2 points. I'd rather go get my fix at Jersey, spring is a long way away...

I wouldn't have guessed that. Different strokes for different folks though.

^ What can I say... I live my life 1/4 mile at a time.

Not really last minute, if registration closed in 30sec, then yes I would agree with you. This is still 3weeks away. Also, the registrar didn't get back to me till so late on the 21st, it almost forced my hand. That and I felt bad not seeing the wifey off before she goes to FLA for a long weekend. Remember what I told you before?
