Next time I'm going to get some real tires. I don't like this two wins and two losses gig very much.

Oh, and nice job on scaring the women and children every time you came by the start/finish. That beast makes all kinds of good noises.

Good times brother.

Mary and I did the CCW thing on Sunday. Though I prefer the CW route I'm starting to like the CCW configuration more and more. In CCW #1, the longest configuration, there are more places where one must be very careful not to carry too much speed vs. the CW arrangement. There were two major off-track excursions while Mary was riding with me, one of them forcing us off the track to make sure there was no bent sheetmetal. The guy that went off in front of us spent the next 30 minutes using the track air to blow out the car. He was carrying too much speed entering Bus Stop and lost the back end of car, spinning him around.

Good times brother.
Your math is pretty fuzzy. Thos Kuhmos felt pretty sporty to me. You better bring some bubble gum on your shoes next time because my girls not done improving lap times.

Seriously great time......

For you guys reading this, me and Carl have a very healthy rivalry and we always are neck and neck regardless of the event. It doesn't really matter who wins as long as it's me.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Good call on the bubblegum. When Mary was riding with me on Sunday I felt something weird by my feet near the end of the session. The accellerator pedal came off. Bubblegum would have worked. Thanks for the tip!

Let's add 'em up.

Optima = Carl
RTTC2 = Todd
NMCA/Hotchkis/Baer Autocross = Carl
Buttonwillow = Todd.

Plus, if memory serves, you ran the last three events on gummy tires, while my prissy little cupcake has 180-220 treadwear tires.

Game on! It doesn't get much better than friendly competition of this nature.

You are conveniently forgetting RTTC 1. I know you turned your RF into a square peg but none the less. Last time I checked, anything under 200 treadwear was illegal(Kuhmo Ecsta). You buy me a set of PS2's and we'll see if you can settle the score.

Talk my wife into it. That's something neither one of us will win.

Todd,

Thanks for taking the time to record and post the video, let alone all the great tech information you provide. It's appreciated very much.

And this goes without saying, your car is outstanding in every regard.

Cheers.

Jason
