Saturday wasn't a good day for either of you unfortunately..

No, it wasn't, but I was just slower and got boxed a few times. Nothing like big damage to the car, and now I'm trying to get to Thunderbolt in two weeks. I've got a Saturday video that I'll post as soon as I can edit down.

NASA seems to have a bunch of great guys running with a few "what the heck are they doing out there guys", same as PCA. I wish I had the cash to run as the #1 GTS2 BMW ran almost the exact times I do... and NASA gives you something more to shoot for than a coffee cup! Still don't understand why PCA, which is SO much bigger an organization, doesn't have contingency programs to help us.

I'm faxing my tire contingency forms right now. It really is a nice perk. But, I was also informed that there are no trophies for Friday winners, only Saturday! I always seem to be out of sinc with them.

Will you run T-Bolt, Gary?

Maybe you can give me some lessons on how to be slower.

Nope, but I will be there as i'm transporting and helping out Paolucci.. and I could care less about the trophy, it's all about the Hoosiers!

All I said was you would benefit for some help, not that I want to help you. The video says it all, no need to get pissy with me. I'm sorry about your shunt.

Don't criticize, when you don't know the car. Even if i makes you feel better about yourself.

You are attempting to get personal with me, i'm going to bite my tongue because of your circumstances. If I were you I would take a deep breath and stop now because no one ever accused me of being over-patient....

Thanks, Paolo. I have to admit that this was a very satisfying run. Luis raced me hard and fair, and kept the heat up all the way to the flag.
