+1

don't even think about the advanced stuff. line, consistency, vision, smoothness.

She's only 13 now- pretty grown up for a girl who flew to Barcelona on her own. Its amazing how mature they get versus when I grew up. She's excited to tryout for the tennis team-she'll be going to HS this year. Regards. Mike

since it's your first race, you will start at back of grid.
and your job is to block mike.

I have had more fun running 1 NCRC exhibition race than the last few club races I've done. I love being out there with the who knows what and going for totally open laptimes and position instead of rule book and classed up categories.

I'm going to check the calendar.

Congrats!

If I can put the rest of the 1/4 together and make my numbers early, I'm there! Time to get some serious work done!

and btw, you're gonna be way out in front if me in that machine you've built. If you're still running the 3.4 or 3.6, I have cams and an ECU for that motor sitting in my garage in RDWC.
