Did you forget to overide the brake pad wear sensors?

if you did just remove them from the pad, cut wire, splice together

I remember seeing you drive by. Come hang out at 48 hours....

Expect to see Backmarker Burkowitz chime in here soon with a post filled with ridiculous excuses. Shortly after Randy will enter and will start to poke at me. He is a master at mental manipulations

I drove through the garages to find the Viper maniac that passed the field during the checker...I guess in his mind WTF if I can't pass anyone under green, I'll pass during the cool down laps.....

What is the car number for the Greek? See you at the 48.

So many decisions, so little time.....any takers on the blocking? I could just have a blonde moment....

No blocking needed at 48 hours. So many slow trains, all you need to remember is to put a good CD in the radio. The good thing is you can be more hungover and still lap half the field.

I got passed at full speed after checkered flag at T16 by a BMW M Coupe, confusing.

Andrew has been running 2:23 lately, hardly a backmarker. Anyone with a 2:25 or faster lap time with an Aero Beetle at Sebring is in the zone.

Would a 2:25.9 qualify as well?
