That would be very cool
Keep your fingers crossed about the rain.
Chappy, you have been to the track before. What is it like? Is there room to set up chairs, etc? How much run out room is there? Do they have a station to add hi-test petrol to the car?

BTW, rain or shine I plan on meeting at BJ's at 8:15am. Further decisions about the weather circumstances can be made at that time.
I probably won't be able to check in here again before tomorrow as I'll be away from the computer.

Okay, I'm an idiot. I wrote down Sat. on my calendar instead of Sun. Needless to say, when no one showed up at BJ's I was worried, then I went to the track and realized my mistake. Oh well, I can't make it tomorrow, but if you still need a helmet 430, email me at e60benz@bellsouth.net. I live in Lawrenceville if you wanted to come get it...

***CLK55 vs. SLK32***
(both 2002 models - both stock, except for the SL55 Y-pipe on the SLK)
You achieved your goal. Beat my best best by .2 seconds. Congrats
HOWEVER, "best times" only equate one perspective. When the adrenaline gets pumping, over-enthusiastic right foots can come into play. I suppose that would be defined as the "real world" racing experience. :p
When it comes to that, I'm 2 for 3 in the win column against this particualr SLK32
"Owned", until next time! :v

Maybe Bob Dole can help me, oh wait, never mind that is another issue :p My race against Chappy was the worst run of the day, I spun through all of first gear. Need to remember to modulate the throttle. The only time I have beaten Chappy is from a roll.
On the other hand I will let my 13.254 @ 106.66 speak for itself.
A big thanks to Schiznick for lending me the helemt

What's up guys. I'm the infamous 'orangizer' Chappy was referring to.
Just wanted to thank you all for coming out to the event. We loved having you.

Also, for e60benz - just let me know if you can make this one, I will apply your pre-pay from October to this one.
