Default The Clash at The Glen - heck with block talk, trash talk!

I just signed on a special co-driver to take away any chance of not winning the enduro, what are your plans (besides losing)?

Losing badly.

Gee I wonder who your new co-driver is. Tell him to get his own damn car.

You would rather TWO of us beat you?
Now this is a good start, thanks Jack! (and you did set yourself up for that one... ..)

I fully expect you and Chris to come up this year gunning for blood!

Don't worry Gary age comes to everyone, just because you can't make 90 mins, don't feel bad......... After all it's the taking part that counts

Damnit!!!!

So Gary, your winning stategy is for your retired semi-professional codriver to take the first 85 minutes and then you're going to bring 'er home to the checker?

Don't forget you have to actually hand it off to your badass co-driver to get that win. Ask me how I know...

While it will be tough to repeat my podium performance from last year (ahem, attrition, ahem) I think I can do it. Hupfer, Buckley, Martin. Yeah that sounds about right. My KY Stock motor is now fully broken in, I am only running one flat-spotted tire, and all 4 have less than 20 heat cycles. Look out everybody!

Great, you pulled yourself up out of some sort of "Happy Ending" Hong Kong party just to join in here? I can just see it now, your waving around one of your leftover 944 Turbo hoses telling the Geisha girls that "I used to race too!"

Exactly, I was told he can run the first 89 minutes and I have to just touch the fuel cap during the pit to qualify..

I DNF'd last year not due to my wonderful car or my lack of viagra, I actually forced a spin which tossed my cooling belt to save Uli Futmar's life! This year I have instructed my co-driver to go ahead and drive straight though an issues like this... and I have confidence he will!

Your view -

I know my driver's as I know my chicken....

I don't see him listed as an Enduro Co-Driver, where are your seeing Shumacher's name?

Not impressed. There was room for this defensive maneuver on the outside:

Gary it's about time you figured out my secret weapon.....Tyler I'm so old I need my youngin to build me a big led and hope I don't blow it.... as I have done and he hasn't let me forget it. The pressures on Gary your co-driver has expectations, so you better go for it
