GA is a little ambitious for me, if I feel like I'm a danger/not competitive I'll stay in Time Trials.

Yeah, you'll be competitive with that time for sure. Give it a go.

Not yet, dates got moved around. Surgery is monday and i already informed people that i will be vanishing. My Michelin level culinary skills will be on display over the next few weeks. Sunday night was brats and pierogi. It is truly unbelievable, my mastery of the kitchen.

Rig can't fit in cave, too many papers and files. Actually, that would be hilarious and I could actually A) make room by removing some furniture and B) connect to the wireless.

I don't think GA would be over your head. the DP is surprisingly drivable once you get used to it. plus during the summer most of the races are only one split so there's all levels of drivers in there (I started a race Sunday night, no practice, crap setup, gridded 5th w/o a qualifying time and finished 4th).

I don't think I can get possum around here or gator tail for tha matter. There is now an outside chance I can make it tomorrow. I will try. I got home tonight at like 9:30 or something.

Gator, possum, lobbyist...whatever you can run over with your car and grill up will be fine.

No problem. You got it out of your system, now go get a clean one in.

I ran a SM race last-night and so far I'm off to a bad start. I started last right where I wanted. Let the field settle out a bit. the guy in front of me was blinking so bad he looked like a beacon. I thought I was going to have a seizure. I couldn't get around him cause he would blink out then block and pop right in front of me. I finally see an opportunity on lap 4. A couple guys spin in T1 and blinky goes way wide. I slow pop into 1st and easily hug the inside, hooray I'm past blinky then out of the blue one of the earlier cars that spun decides hes going to see how quickly he can reenter the track from the dirt, and yep you guessed it; spun right in front of me and race over.

I'm looking forward to much better racing tonight.

What kind of times are people doing around Laguna in the Star Mazda? I did a quick practice and I think I can get into the 1:20s, but the 1:19s might be out of reach.

I was running mid to higher 1:20s, but I do not think I can get to 1:19 at all as my optimal time is still a 1:20.3. The bulk of our pack was in the 1:22-1:24 range.

I average 1:23's. I can get to high 1:21's but I cant race there. Race average last night was around 1:26's in my group with fast laps in the 1:20's

What happened Tom? Jump the start? What are we doing for next week? How about another free track for next week. LRP maybe.

My pedals were acting up and I rolled 1' foward during the red lights at the start which was a black flag. When I pitted to serve the stop and go I didn't have any options to turn off fueling and tires so after a 45 second pit spot I was rolling with full fuel so I quit. Miserable.
