Yea, E55 Baller was bummed I beat him out of the gate last time. But then he crept up on me big time and passed me at the finish. It was fun as heck: I could "feel" his presence gaining on me, but I couldn't see him until it was too late. I felt like a slow running linebacker trying to run an interception back for a touchdown, feeling a fast wide-out chasing me down. It was cool.

But regarding DRs, I can't afford, at the moment, all the modification stuff, tires, pullies, etc.; I like to see what my car can do as is, stock. But I am learning and will one day do something I am sure.

Thanks

That was a fun race..I think your reaction time was about 0.3 better than mine and it took me the entire track to catch up.

I wish I could go 11/12 but I am supposed to be at a freakin conference in Williamsburg, VA 11/12-11/14. Bummer. I may go for test and tune though that Sunday 11/11.

Ahmad: I appreciate your offer; I don't have time for installation, etc., so I am going to go with the stock tires and see if my experience and tips from our bretheren can help me shave a few tenths off my time.

Thanks again for the offer.

Kris

arrgh...it doesn't look like I can make it because I am already taking my staff on a shopping excursion Friday 11/9. The air at MIR will be perfect with a DA of -1000....my prediction. If I take off Mon I'll get slaughtered on Tuesday. Haha....funny Kris...you brother is so popular that his appointments are backed up at least 2 months.

There are only 10 cars registered so far. If you guys want to do this make sure you register because if I dont get 30 cars prepaid by the end of the month I will cancel the rental.

Ahmad: what's the deal with everyone; the first event was a huge hit but this one seems so underappreciated; what gives?

Ahmad, I think attendance for this event is coming along just fine. Keep in mind that you marketed the last one for 3 months. We only had 24 people committed to the last event after a month and a half. Within 8 days, Ahmad you already have 15 commitments. That is remarkable in my opinion.
