I love the competition, aspect of this. Looks like Penny has some stiff competiton this time.

Yes JA is Charley's car. He asked me to build it and I helped with the build. I project managed it and engineered it. Reiter's did most of the work on the car. They did the body work, paint and assembled it. Stenod did the exhaust and the roll cage. I had help from a lot of people.

I'm very happy with the way JA turned out.

The Motor State deal was great. A very will run event. There were a lot of great guys there with cool cars that we all being driven hard.

Yep, but the car was brand new (since the last road course event) with new springs, sway bars and such.

The valving for the Bilsteins are off now, need some adjustables, also cooked the BP20 street pads since Pozzi and I were both beating on the car.

Penny had the fastest autocross time (with Pozzi) driving and I think I had the fourth fastest with myself driving.

David came in 3rd place overall for the event. If he would have matched his qualifying time in the finals he would have gotten 2nd, but that's the way the cookie crumbles in racing.

We know what we need to do to make her better and that's the most important part.

Oh, I got to drive JACKASS.. Holy crap! that car has INSANE brakes. The power is pretty crazy as well, first class ride!

Congrats to both Mark and Charlie... great job :thumbsup:

I agree with these guys, plenty of time until the Optima Challenge to get the car sorted back out. There definitely is no loser in an event like this one. I'm hoping to get my car out on Spring Valley raceway prior to the Optima Challenge to sort it out a little as well.

Oh, we lost the road race section.. but that's racing and there's no shame in that.

Mark, Kyle, Jake, and Ryan are great drivers in great cars.

We did do a little redeeming in the autocross. I checked and if you take out the new Corvette on race tires then Penny placed 1st and 3rd.

Sounds like Penny liked the AutoX! It's really hard to get the car setup for both events...but I have faith that it will be TOTALLY dialed by November! Heres to you and David on a job well done!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Congrats to Charlie and Mark.....The both of them worked their *ss off the whole weekend. This really proved itself for the event. When Jackass came around the turn 11, hammered down the backstretch to turn 1, I said to myself he's going way to fast to make it, all the sudden Jackass stopped w/ ease and headed for turn 2. I said to myself HoleySmokes, that car is Bad*ass!!!:hail: I can't wait to see Jackass in Vegas....
