IPC (Kerry?), sorry I didn't catch the car in the SARRC (was watching from the bridge spectator area) I was still a little zinged. I was actually looking at my new tub during the ECR so I got there when you guys were coming off the track.
I will definately try keep an eye out next time at RA and introduce myself (we always paddock on the skidpad with a couple Miatas and the OPM Autosports guys). We'll be back for LMS (June Jam) so if you are up there, just look for a red trailer and an orange and blue CRX (always disliked the red/white
). And I will definately be at the ARRC and the summer ECR at RA.
You going to do the NASA-SE 944 Cup races at RA?

"Through coming"
Hmmmmm... isn't that the time when a smoker reaches for a cigarette?

Mike, if you are in F class, that is a tough class. Karl Potel is the man there. i think he may be bringing a new car.

And, Karl is good driver, but Bill Pawlan nipped him last year at the club race for third.
Should be fun!

I think I might just go ahead an put all of it on the back of my car "COMING THROUGH". The only problem is, I don't know if there is a spot big enough for you to see it at this speed. 1:46.994 Road Atlanta 3/21/04 :-)

see you there
I have the #26 finally fixed I hope (after 8-9 breakdowns/sit outs--including breaking my finger playin' softball). I'm very happy to go to RA for the1st time and seeing everyone 'I' there.
But take it easy on me. I only know the infield, having drank mo' beer and seeing lots of Petite (ha ha) action from that side of the fence.
Bill P. has promised to show me the way.

Yeah, I figured as much. Tech will be interesting. They have weighed my car so much, it is developing a complex. They have also check the chip to the point the little tabs are breaking off of the cover. The last time they checked it, I ask them to seal it in a manner so it could not be tampered with. They put a PCA sticker on it and signed it so it could not be opened. I am going to bring my bore scope so they can look at the pistons and go through the oil drain hole and look at the crank and rods too " knife edged crank or lightened crank and rods". What these people don't understand, If you are cheating, how much do you think you are going to get out of 2.5L 4 cyl. I dynoed my car last year 133 hp - 125 lb/tq. You just can't get any power from these thing with out spending a lot of money and doing things that are very obivious and still might only get 10- 15 hp. Plain and simple, you have got to drive the sh#T out of the car to get good times from them. The best thing you can do is get the car to handle forget about the power, they just don't make it. Oh yeah, drive it like you stole it!!!
