And he's going again against the Brewers tomorrow (here, anyway) @ Maryvale. So we'll go check him out and report back! Too bad I didn't pack a Porsche shirt or hat.......maybe I can catch his attention, and he can pick me out of the crowd if we sit over on their dugout side.

you guys are so gay for my career it cracks me up. thanks for all the digital high-fives

although...I'm sorry I won't be getting a cup car...blame it on open wheel cars! I'm getting a simulator this summer so I can practice at my hours in the AC instead of having to spend a ton of time over at MSR in the 100* heat. maybe when I'm retired from baseball I'll go the cup car route but for now I've got so much to learn in and from open wheel cars that I'm jumping into that darwinian lane.

to rob and eclou etc- I'm pretty sure that TR sullivan jumped the gun and I'm the #3 starter just in case you're planning a rennlist mosh pit at the ballpark...I'll let you know as it gets closer.

high-fives are old school. We're giving you 2 "round the world" snaps!

Ceej looks to be pitching the day game Thursday April 8th at 1pm. I'm planning on taking the day off from work to attend.

Day game always makes things tougher but I think I can still swing it.

elou - let me know if you want to a ticket. Spectaular seats, you'll be able to rest your beer on the visitor's dugout.

Chad - you coming up as well?

I highly recommend learning in formula cars. If you can get competitive in them, then you can jump into a cup car and be HIGHLY competitive almost right away.

I think it's about impossible to get anywhere staying in formula cars unless you were winning national gocart titles when you were a toddler and kept racing moving up into formula cars (and racing is all you do, unlike you and me). But guys I have raced with like Lawson Aschenbach and Ricardo Imery jumped right into GT cars and won right away, after doing well (but not setting the world on fire) in formula cars.

Good luck!
