Nice! When i loose a race I will be sure to tell them to try and pick on my big brother in the E55! This is shaping up to be a good event. There will be video on hand too. If you ever want to meet up for a test n' tune night let me know I'm always down for some 1/4 runs.

I haven't yet. I've been waiting for the weather to cool down enough, which it certainly has. Next week I hope to be in the low 12s...I'm not sure how my tires are gonna hold up though, I seem to be breaking traction a lot more lately so it is probably coming time to get new treads!

had a lot of fun and met some great people!!! track prep was so-so...at least in the right lane but ambient conditions sucked! da was a lot higher than we hoped for and we were running into a decent head wind most of the day.

anyways, i ran a first pass to get a baseline and then was told not to do that again!

Stout run…enough to have gotten bounced.

Never mind all that, what does it generate on a treadmill?

Bro,

That is an incredible pass and I am glad Evan saved you. Did you race the mighty Crossfire? The driver is so skilled

i didn't get a chance. the tree was acting up all day and we were limited on runs. we ended up having to run a pro tree because of the glitch. needless to say, there's way too much ecu lag to be able to run a pro tree and his skills would have made me look even more silly!
