I'm not sure the 599 would enjoy much more than the drive through the grapevine or the desert but on track I prefer full on race cars. it would be great to have my grand-am ST class MX5 cup car with no mufflers chasing and harassing you guys at a track like buttonwillow though!
And, you are right on about the MX5 and they are like a pesky gnat. Extremely quick in the twistys, reliable and the consumables are so reasonable. The MX5 races are really entertaining to watch and are just brutal at times.
Either way, we hope to see you out there soon.

My wife refers to you as the Rennlist pitcher. Hope you don't mind.

CJ,
Congrats on the contract, welcome back to Cali, too bad you are bit far South from the Bay Area but we will not hold that against you. See you at the track when you are not in the park so to speak.

Rode Harleys for a long time. Had 5 accidents. The first, in 1971, was my fault. The rest were cage drivers being stupid, including last year when I was rear-ended while sitting at a red light. The whiplash knocked my lights out for awhile, damaged neck nerves and lower back. Still recovering after having left arm bicep tendon re-attached.
Parked the HOGs and bought a GT3.
PS Pitched baseball for 9 years and threw my arm away by pitching too much batting practice just before trying out for semi-pros. All I had was a fast ball and a drop ball taught to me by Satchel Paige.
CJ is living the dream! Have been following your career. Congrats!
Please don't give some idiot the chance to muck you up on a scoot......

Congrats C.J. - you were cool back on the 993 board - nice to see you remain so grounded.
Great when a plan comes together (from Oct 2005)

its great to be able to get paid to play a kids game everyday. The only thing is, i don't get to chill at the California beaches anymore during the summer, i'm off in texas playing for the Rangers.
yeah its amazing with medical technology now, if i could drive as fast as i can pitch, i might be in some serious legal trouble...haha
