^^^^^^^^^^^^ "you" doesn't mean "Todd" -- it means anyone else running against them....

Just wanted to clarify I wasn't dumping on Todd.... just sayin' put any of these folks in just about any car and they'll crush whatever time you're running - any track - anywhere - every time.

I think you need to review the El Toro score sheets again. Autocross, you have a strong case.

I saw any track, anytime..... Don't discount their experience and years of tuning and driving the same car. It makes a HUGE difference. I do agree that they are all damn good drivers and I'm certainly not trying to say I'm an equal.

I've seen you all drive - you suck.



J/K buddy!


If light wins -- I should see how the '32 would do... it's 500HP and 2000 #'s.... but with me at the wheel - it would just flip upside down and do the dying cockroach.

What do you guys think Mike's Mustang really weighs? I woundn't really call the car lightweight, hell, it weighs more than my Honda S2000 does by 150 or so pounds.

In reality it comes down to car set up and ease of driving. Case in point, when Kyle hopped out of the car, he was pretty shocked at how easy the Mustang is to drive at speed.

I keep trying to talk Mike into bring his real race car out and not his wifes car, but he's not having it. Maybe next time we'll put the baby seats in the back seat of the Mustang to give the whiners a ride...

Holy mackeral--really? I think the difference here lies somewhere between real autocross/race drivers---Mike, Mary, etc--versus guys like Chris and I who were there for strictly the fun part of it---I know that is what Chris is commenting on--we don't hold ourselves up in the same light as we would Mike, Mary, Kyle Newman, Tuckers, etc. No one was cheering louder for Mike, who is one of the nicest guys out there--when he broke into the 39's than all of us. Don't misinterpet a few thank you's for a slam against Mike---no one who was at the event---I believe I can speak for many---are thinking the way it's been made to sound here. Any of you that have seen Mike in action with the Mustang know it's something you have to see---he is amazing in that car.

It's still racing and everybody has a little pride down in there somewhere.

I think everybody has to have a bit of competitiveness in them. You can always tell the level of competitiveness by the amount of time and money one spends on tuning and upgrades after an event.

Frankly, I cant wait ti'll I lose my competitive edge. It will save me a ton of money. I think my next investment will be sand, palm trees, and cocktail waitress's

Thanks Kyle, and nice getting to know you better. You are one hell of a driver, and it was fun seeing your different driving style as compared to mine when you took my car for a spin.

Ill make sure I stop calling Craig..Kyle lol.

Good time with all and a great group of people....Doug did beat the S&*t out of that one legged Viagra machine. It sure will be different with 2 legs and an LS3 erection.

Tom from AZ has a bad ass stock looking 67 Camaro. That thing hooks up and thanks for the ride along.

Man Im bummed.... Jon's 72 Nova now is faster and his driving skills are going to push that budget minded machine to faster times than mine. So, I guess back to the drawing board for me. Congrats and good job Jon.

As usual, No Limit is a great group to hang out with, Tina was a great host and kept inviting me to the group lunch back at the camper, but I kept using my lunch time to look around. Maybe next time Rob and Tina. Thanks

Greg Weld you dirty dog...sneaking in and paying for everyones dinner with your monkey hat. That was some funny stuff.

I know i was not the only person out there that commented on the fact that its a tight group of people when the heads of some of the larger company's, ie. Kyle from DSE, Mike from Maier, Brett from Ridetech, all played musical cars and took turns tearing up the course.

The other stand out for me was Jess Gould was out their running the Dart! Even though she was not the fastest it was the most fun to watch!
