Wow. Sounds like quite a list. And here I thought you were going to keep it the way it was.

As for the challange. I'm trying to work it into my schedule.


Thanks man it was quite a experience being my first one and all.....they Hoops and Lieber were awesome to race against (2008 national champs) and the g-fab 240sx and its two co drivers were cool dudes also (2009 national champs but i don't think hoops/lieber went to nationals last year). Anyway the 240 had some issues and had to replace a trans and didn't get all its runs saturday and then sunday had more issues after a few of its runs with boost related problems otherwise it woulda been up there in the mix more. I am happy considering the car is 3230 lbs and 350 whp vs much lighter /powerful cars.
I am just as happy my nerves didn't get the best of me. I have some interesting changes to be made to the car after this weekends racing thats for sure. I am going to try to attend nationals but not sure how i will get there as my tow vehicle isn't ideal for more then a few hours trip in which case i just drive the evo and trailer the tires with it as you know. BTW you guys didn't hear but after the beaver run time trial my manifold had cracked at a runner and also from heat/broke a piece of the diversion plate off and it ate the turbo at some point throught the day and i was sick as hell so luckly Matt @slickmotorsports was able to swap everything over by thursday, then thursday night/friday morning till 2am my buddy clipse3GT retuned and i was off to the races friday at 10am... what a exhausting last 10-11 days

Next local Pittsburgh meet is tonight at the waterfront. They'll be some other cars there too but no ballers like us.

Anyone going down in limp mode?

living a block and a half away from your house for a few years has taught me much about the short cuts. Thanks for reminding me tho!
