Hey Bob, you'd think that Shannon would understand better than most because she drives the car.

Yeah Larry she DRIVES the car, but I feed it. She knows what the sporty fashion wear cost, but not the other little stuff like tires, brakes, rotors............................

PLEASE MAKE THIS THREAD GO AWAY BEFORE MY WIFE SEES IT. PLEASE.

I must avoid race budget confrontations with her. And frankly, if she reads this thread, she will wonder how it is that other racers seem to get by for less than $2,000 per weekend...

Hell, guys, Ronnie can't even afford a keyboard that types in lower case because he spends so much on racing!

Bob, I was perfectly happy running on Yokos at 3/4 the cost but no.... you guys had to escalate the tire war...

Someone refresh my memory, but I saw a signiture by another RL from George Best or Hemingway or somebody like that that said something to the effect that he's lost plenty of money, Money spent on "birds" was the most pleasurable, racing the quickest and farming the most sure way of losing money?

My bud RJFabCab has it in his signature.

Unknown source said:
"Racing makes Heroin addiction seem like a slight craving for something salty" (or something like that).
Now, I am not sure what Heroin addiction costs, but I was not under the impression it was cheap.......



Now PLEASE DELETE this thread as all of the above have requested. PLEASE!

Love the new avatar!
You might want to remove the "Believe Racing" graphics though. People might mistake you for Glen and actually expect you to be moving fast.
Hahaha
Now I am the trash talker

I can't wait to get out there with you. Don't blow my doors off and embarrass me too bad. (I won't be able to use the excuse of having an early car without the power of a newer one). PLEASE

Don't worry. I have not yet taken possession of the car as it is still in Texas. From my understanding Glen's graphics have been removed. At least now there won't be any accusations why the car is slow other than the correct one - an idiot like me is driving it.

I can't wait to get it out here.
