I would need racecoach.net to coach me on how not to go full ninja in the paddock...

oh and no apology or acknowledgement from the stang camp... classy

And the "series does not tolerate" is BS... are these guys suspended? on probation? hell no... tail is wagging the dog.

Any jackalope can buy a seat in this series... it is a pro-am golf tournament with booze and the ams are getting loaded.
wow that sucks, especially with Nissan HQ a few hours up the road

BJ was driving the Z car, he was not too happy. The view out of the back of the M3 is telling.

Very few races get won in the first corner but plenty are lost there.

It's funny that this is called pro racing by some.

Just wait for the B-Spec races. I'm afraid it's going to be much worse.

Yeah, I know. BJ was extremely upset about it. Gotta say, I am thinking about staying away from Grand-Am for a bit, but am jealous of your success (CONGRATS ON THE PODIUM FINISH!!)!

How was the ST race?

You should come back to GA for a few races. I know it's hard to tear yourself away from the Cup car but you know we have fun now that Owen is running the team. The race was good but it really started with about 30 minutes from the checker when everyone knew they had the fuel to bring it home.

Thanks Rick
