Vegas part deux

I am continuing to rack up flight time so will again be coming out from Europe again to play for the weekend of 21 Oct.

Combined with 30 degree cooler temperatures and couple of little tweaks we should at least equal or most likely improve on our times.

Any and all welcome...

Might be up for coming out for the party but probably not going to haul the car out there, the conditions around home will be much better that time of year in my own back yard, why go to the trouble to run 2/10th's or more slower in Vegas? 2 of my friends are already going to be in Vegas that weekend anyhow so I will most likely be there but without the car.

Not about rematch as Jim has me covered...he is still the teacher.

How do we get Mercedes to make more of these? I've been trying to get them for years. I tried in Berlin and they didn't want to talk to me.

Not true Earl, you're right there with me, right now we are both about even, my best is a 10.82, yours is a 10.88 I think, that's about dead even in my books...and I did my 10.82 in better conditions so you might still be the man to beat.
