An impromtu practice. We were doing a shoot on the car and the track was open and he was itchin' to try out the new tires, so we took it out and timed it. That think is a rocket.

I'm testing tire above 200 treadwear. I need every edge I can get for the Auto X............

When I pick a tire I'll let you know when I sort out what works on my car. I picked up 3.5 seconds a lap with Rob in the car so I think the tuning I have done over the summer worked out. I'm going back to Gingerman and Walmat on Sunday to make my final choice for tires.

I took my car back to Joe and Paul VanNus's last night. They looked at my car like the guys at Avis after we rented car to run at a track event for the weekend.

They will have the car looking great for SEMA.

They did say I kept it shiny.

Thanks for the help guys the car is killer.



But I'm taking it back to Gingerman to sort out the ABS issue.
