I've seen gators, razorbacks, and red boudin served up on game day.

That said.....in the event of a downpour, they bring out a hig sweeper between sessions to clear standing puddles.

The other GT3 listed will be on Michelin PS Cups or Toyo ra1s rain or shine.

I don't have the stock MPSC's for the street; I have the MPS 2's. Longer lasting on the street, and they were perfect for the rain last week at TWS, but on a dry track, the GT3 is just too much for them and they get real squirmy after 10 minutes. I'll watch the weather closely in the days ahead.

Cool

That would be me. 40 mile drive to track and 40 miles home. Might as well use up the MPSC as I dont think my rears will be back from being flipped on wheel. Looking forward to a good event made better by T's kindly provided lunch.
And company,of course.

Actually the colors were derived from the same company that we were named after The Louisiana Fighting Tigers. They were a civil war voluntary infantry division out of New Orleans who were mostly Irish immigrants that were a notorious group of soldiers renowned not only for their drunkenness and disorderly behavior in camp but for their bravery in battle. Not to far off from Tiger fans of today.......

Purple and Gold were the colors of their company that they flew on their flags and wore on uniform.

And BTW, nice ride!

Well that is the Miss State game so it of course will have bulldog in it..........


Not as good as the time I served the Iowa St. fans in the RV lot fried hawk for the 2005 Capitol One Bowl Game in Orlando at the tailgate but almost.............

They got rather upset at that one........

Till they found out it was Cornish hens.....

DC...., there's your on track running mate Russell V. that posted right above you.

You'll have another '07 GT3 to run around with.

Looks like just you, me, Eon and Russell in the yellow group so far with assignments but I'm sure there'll be some stragglers .

Looking forward to it.

And there's your Jambalaya chef right below you.....

Just for the record, it's official - All DE registrants will receive a free lunch of chicken and sausage Jambalaya, expertly prepared from scratch on site.....and free lunch time cold drinks supplied by MG region PCA.

So the round-up again for those late comers.....we have free lunch, ladies only lapping sessions followed by historic Antebellum Age Plantation home lunch break and great instructors all wrapped up in a single Saturday 1-day event with plenty time to get home and still enjoy Sunday before returning to work.

Gonna be great. Fresh alignment on car, responds totally different on turn in . I will probably be relearning this coming weekend. However, I intend to record all laps and probably the pits also (as in the past). T, bring the card if I dont see you before then.

What card....?



Hey, I had to buy a USB reader for that old ancient media.....I'll give it to you if you need one.

New alignment....?, fresh tires.....?, blah blah blah......,

Geez....all I have to do to old Frankie is pull the cover off and give it a swift kick... .
