It's too hot in August. I need you to switch it to May when the temps are better.

Also, while the FLAT OUT group has been widely successful, I'm starting a new SPEC FLAT OUT group because my supercar is developing cracks in the carbon fiber owners manual cover and that's hurting my resale values.

A real member of the SPEC FLAT OUT group would just buy a new car if that happened.

Some SPEC FLAT OUT cars are more “spec” than others...

As the number one supplier of cheater laptimers to the SPEC FLAT OUT community, Peter would know.

We encourage FLAT OUT to drive in street clothes with no harness/hans system as they already have insurance anyway...

@LuigiVampa Yeah, we will have to figure out what to do with those CVR folks too... I may put them in the Franklin Pray Group... That group has the pit speed limit enforced around the entire track for everyone's safety...

@Gofishracing FLAT OUT is not provided lunch as there is no way to get food into a mouth that is constantly moving to tell everyone about it's pro-level lap!!! Come on, who doesn't want to brag their GT3 went faster than a SPB!!!
Can't get food into a mouth that always has "something" coming out of it!

As Penske Porsche Monmouth is a partial sponsor it is almost guaranteed Roger will be there scouting too... It's like one degree of separation between attending this DE and getting a Paid Pro Ride!

I don't want to brag but I was a paid driver for several years and was world renowned for my speed.

The fact that I was delivering pizza should take nothing away from the fact that I was a pro driver. Further, since I drove for Dominos, I was a factory pro driver.

@LuigiVampa in his prior professional driving days...


Eventually he was replaced and many would say "improved" upon...

Phew! For a moment, I thought I was the only one the caught that.
