I couldn't imagine what some of the locals were thinking when we went CRAWLING by.

The symphony of Sharkwerks bypass exhaust probably scared the crap out of the locals......and my track exhaust.


For those of you who missed this.....you really messed up. It was better than any track day.

I am glad Lewis and my car are in a garage, closed door

And let me tell you guys - driving from the back of the pack was an experience! The symphony of sounds was epic - definitely a highlight of the day.

PJ - Dave bought your car????? Now it all makes sense... That custom exhaust you installed was intoxicating. I was over at Road Atlanta on Sunday admiring that sound on the track. Pure bliss....

Hope all is well. I have been off Rennlist for a while but am warming back up for a new DE season... It was cool meeting the SE crew today.

^ yes... although Dave and I have never met we share a kinship much like one in which he is now happily dorking my ex girlfriend and I am pleased with it :-)

Dave is the man - sending me periodic updates and while I should not care about the car, I am happier that it is with a guy like Dave... like I gave up a dog and it is thriving on a farm in the country sort of feeling.... I am glad it was not a local sale as the periodic reminders while nice can also make me yearn for the past.

as to the exhaust - version 2.0 is in the works for my current car... 2.0 will be made of inconel from penske racing :-)

Thanks for sharing the pics! Really cool to see that many cool cars out and about! Sure do wonder what the locals thought with all the cool metal driving down the road!
