Wait, I thought that THIS year was your year? Now you are telling me that it's 2010? At this rate, I'll have a kid racing competitively W2W before you get around to it.

Just remember Frankie they may not have any confidence in you either. If you want develop respect among the other racers around you WILL need to accept responsibliy for your actions. This means it is not always the "other" guys fault something happens. It just may very well YOUR own fault or your own bone head move. One you realize that even Francis can f-ck up (ie like 2003 at Willow) then you might just have respect & confidence to race close with the other guys around you.

Remember if you come to race in Az and see a red/white 944 #94 that is me. I know what I am doing and while I am not perfect by any means I race hard and clean. There is 99% chance we will never be in the same class, but realize that I have my place on the track just like you. I will treat you fairly on track and EXPECT you to do the same. I will however be ready for anything. If you do something stupid and dumb and don't own up to it I will be sure our organizational leadership knows all about Ghettoracer. Be solid safe racer and own up to any mistakes you make and all will be good. Fair enough?

Bryan, if anything ever happens to me, you take over the monthly audit? OK?

Then how come you can't get that close to Andrie's times in your car? Maybe you will eventually, but until you do expect to be met with skepticism here. When can we look forward to some more results on mylaps.com?

I accept, though I hope that it never comes to that.

Thank you Bryan. I'll be able to sleep better at night.


(actually we'll all be able to sleep better at night. Except maybe Bonni -- she hasn't seen Mr Parker in a few weeks)

How exactly how do you "let by" someone that is in front of you?

(this is why racing is so great...its hard to hide behind a transponder )

Colin, thanks for the numbers...and the bouncing avatar! You will see that GhettoChicken has no sense of sticking with the truth, and he is not anywhere close to being bright enough to be even a mediocre liar. Seems his lieing and his driving are about equal....but, always seems to need to tell lies, while he never seems to need to w2w race.

Missed you at Poc II. Ran neck and neck with Charlie. Just ask him....he was being generous and said it was for a good 15 seconds at least!

Looks like the guy who won it and the one who finished second had good drives

***Actually, try more like nine weeks. But I'm going back out to Florida in a couple weeks. Then neither John nor myself will get any sleep.

Given that an H1 car should be about 5 seconds faster than a SM, I don't know if I'd be bragging about that.
