I heard that Sean McManus and his 911 was bested by a lowly 944!

I seem to remember something like "If you beat my time I'll pay your entry fee".

No, that's the Pilsberry Dough-boy (poppin' fresh?).

So Sean McBoyAss lost to a lowly waterpumper???

GAWD I wish I had been able to make it!

HaHa!

Sean McManus and I had a great battle goin on there! It all came down to the last run. His best run was a 51.3 seconds time, mine was a 51.2 seconds. The margin of victory was only .1 seconds. Pretty damn close.

Apparently the smack talk has already begun for the Taj autocross in 2 weeks. This story looks to have a second chapter .

(yep, that is a Mr. Bibendum (michelin man) magnet on my car). Alex got a video of one of my runs and one of Sean's. I'll see if I can get that from him today and find a way to host it.

Dan, did you get a photo of my car from the side with my magnetic numbers on it?

Nice Job Tifo, but technically you kicked his @$$ since .1 sec ain't that close! I was once beat by .051 for a class win, Z-man has been bested by .006(again, in class) and we've had a couple events where classes have been decided by .001!
And next time I wanna see a FEW waterpumpers beat this dude!
