Car looks and sounds great.

Love seeing Sutton still lurking and following whats happening with car. I know it's just killing him that he's not the center of attention and has been relegated to the butt of all jokes.
(FYI, he was last logged in to LatG yesterday).

I was talking with Blake after the first session on Sunday about the car and how it was working and the one thing I loved the most was when he said the catch can was empty after every session. :)

Coolant temps steady at 195, oil pressure steady, no fluid leaks at all, no parts falling off...you know, all the basic easy stuff to take care of that wasn't before.

Greg,
As if the track footage didn't make me smile enough, seeing how much fun you guys had sure added to it. I'm stoked for you and that the car did so well. Watching it repetitively blow doors off of Miatas was surely entertaining. I would have made the drive if I still lived in California. I can't wait to see more!

We are all flipping Sutton off in that picture. He is a form of Cancer.

Here is a little comparison. The fast unclean lap of 1.43 ish. with more tuning to be done. The #1 qualifier for the trans am race with LOTS of clean laps.....
1.38.

Thank you Greg for entrusting us with the dirt missile redo. I hear we have a new name for the car possibly??

PacMan because of the way it eats up the cars in front of it on track!!

V-Box video — it’s an automotive/racing set up

It’s not set up well at all - and is capable of so much more “on screen” data - we will work on that now - but doing video **** is kind of the “last thing” on the project - since it’s really not important to the cars performance - it’s just for smiles afterwards. We’ll try to do better.

My greatest regret in all of this - in hindsight - is that I just didn’t pull the “date” for the car to be built - and insist you guys build it in the first place. It would ultimately have been done “sooner” than what this weekends date was!! And I might possibly have had a chance to wheel this biotch myself. Hindsight is always 20/20

Our personal friendship over the years - which outsiders may not understand - has meant the world to me - and to be able to watch the growth and success for all involved in Speedtech Performance has just been outstanding. I’m so proud of you!!

Many don’t know that Blake and I have just been hot rod buddies for quite a few years — but I’ve never spent $1 with the company. For no reason than the cars I’ve been building don’t use these kinds of parts. I have tried to be there for business discussions = as a friend to good friend.

Love you buddy - and forever in your debt!

What you and Anita meant to this weekend is unspeakable.... being there - thrashing on the car - cooking meals - hanging with everyone and seeing your effort wail on some pesky Miatas *LOL* - a 24 hour round trip drive on top of that!!!

NOW — Get that drag car out and give ME a weekend to come see YOU run that bad boy!!
