Ok thanks, I think I fixed the links.
And I almost never carry cash so thank you for the heads up on Cash only at Salt Lick BBQ! I hate paying through the nose to get my own money out at the machines inside restaruants!! LOL.

Having led the fast group in the past, and having the luxury of planning the entire route, plus pre-driving it, added up to a small advantage in my favor. The turbo didn't hurt either
BUT:
Even with the extra HP's of the turbo, keeping away from Jim (can't remember if it was last year or the year before) in his not so stock GTS was not easy. I would watch Jim (admittedly a better driver than I) catch me in the corners, and I would pull away in the straights.....and by pull away, I don't mean turning him into a small dot, I mean getting out of his way for the next set of corners......that sure was fun.
