I'm going to plan on it.  I'll see if I can get the Tacoma Trigger as well.

The way your car was running you would have been right there.  I had one heat with 39 laps and I remarked it was a run as good as Bill.  But only one.

Thanks to Bob and wife for hosting yesterday.  Weather was great, the food was great and I didn't actually feel warm until the last few heats of the race.  All in all, a very pleasant day.

On the track, the stock Nissan with BOSA tires turned out to be a real rocket.  I intended to run my new Lancia.  A few practice laps showed that to be the wrong choice.  On the plus side, the Lancia still looks like new.  However the Nissan gripped like the devil with the only injury being a bent mirror.

I was worried about tire wear and even had extra sets of wheels with tires ready for a quick change.  Never needed them.  Clearance on the tires still looks good, ready for another race.  Pretty pleased with that.

Thanks for a great night of fun, so much better than power washing a deck.

I watched the video.  Very cool.

Was it slowing down via friction or was Dennis using the brake?  There is a brake?

How's team Ferndale coming along?  Any progress?  Anything we can do?

Hahahahahahaha.  An accident...  When I carried my box out I mentioned to Rico I was about 2 steps from an accident that could dramatically alter Victoria's future.

Wow, results from a guy that wasn't even there.  We admire and appreciate your dedication.

Shoulda been there, missed a good arse-whoopin'.

And thanks to Al for having us.

Monte would like to point out that it's a first heat win in class for the mighty Cobra as Mitch the Twitch had a pod, the devil.  And Monte would also like to point out that Monte don't do no third person.  cool

I suggest in the spirit of group harmony we consult with Bill on all future dates for tuning.  I'm guessing he'll know something we won't and it's best to have all the knowledge on the table.

You got it, thanks Bob.

Doc, can you get FM with that thing?  Let me know if you need me to come over and wheel you out to the track.  Cold Turkey can be a terrible thing.
