I will join you guys for a bit. I can't make a nite of it though.
Two weekends in a row at the track makes the spousal unit a little edgy if you get my drift.

Thanks Chris. I think this is my first race in three years in which you won't be in attendence. Have fun with the family.

She won't. Nor is she making her usual trip to a casino with the girls while I play with the guys. She'll be in Chicago, cleaning out the house. Which really means the garage. I fear for all my old car parts and junk. This could be more expensive than her going to a casino.

Besides a great track, the Atlanta Club Race does have the best trash talk of the year.

Oh yeah.

Have Amy order you a mouthguard. You're gonna be grinding your teeth every night for months after this one, nemesis.

Brian,

The only thing I'm gonna bust this weekend is your A$$. Did you enjoy the video I sent you? Did you enjoy the way the 329 got smaller and smaller on the front straight?

During our last race several of your fellow competitors had their qualifying times DQ'd or experienced mechanical/electrical problems. Otherwise the results may have been a little different. BTW, Congratulations on the win!

However, It will not be so easy this weekend my brother. Do not think for a second that you will be able to walk away from this field like you did 2 weeks ago.

That sheet looks pretty ugly. Oh wait, here’s another version. The one that shows that all you guys ahead of me are in cup cars! http://www.pca.org/clubrace/2006_res...GoldEnduro.htm

Fun stuff. See you Thursday.
Hey, that's cool video! Damn you and your power! I particularly like you pulling away on the back straight but I close a great bit of the gap back up under braking. I've saved that video into my archives... (Btw, I came in 2nd overall in that enduro losing to.... Larry! )

I have a feeling you might have some dumpster divers this weekend!

And damn you and your 2200 lbs cup car. I love the way those things brake and turn. My 996 was like stopping a frieght train. As I recall I managed to be the only car on the track that didn't pit under yellow that race. Oh well.

In 48 hours we will be on track!

Hey gums,
You're just jealous because you have to remove your "teeth" every night before you go to bed.

It is 25xx#. It is good at stopping.

A little more than 48 hours for me as I don't need no stinkin' T&T day...
