Early Christmas Present - Phoenix Performance Repaired my Z06!
Hey all,
Got home from patrol just in time for my oldest daughter's 15th birthday on the 23rd, and have spent a wonderful few days at home with family.
Got a nice Christmas present from my friends at Phoenix Performance who completed repairs to my car while I was gone (pics below). As most of you probably remember, I tried to park my car at Pacific Raceways at about 100 mph last year: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1410200
Phoenix Performance could have repaired my car sooner, but given I spent all of my 07 racing budget on repairs (and part of my 08 budget) and I deployed twice this year, racing was on the back-burner so I let them focus their attention on other customer cars (which looks like it paid off for them with three SCCA National Championship wins).
Not sure what 08 will bring for me in the way of racing. I deploy in the spring and am scheduled to transfer to shore duty sometime between Aug and Nov. Runoffs are a possibility at this point so my goal for the year is to qualify for the Runoffs and see how my schedule plays out in the fall. There is the minor logistical problem that my car is still sitting on my open air trailer in Philadelphia and I am in Seattle...
I may swap divisions and race in an east coast division and fly out to a few races, keeping my car on the other coast. That's a decision I'll have to make in the next few weeks.
Many thanks to the pros at Phoenix Performance for turning this:

Newbie here but still want to say glad your car is fixed, glad you get to spend more time with your family and racing in 08 once you get to shore duty. I know what it is like to be away so much.

Thanks all for the kind words. Although I've clearly been busy this year, I really have missed the racing and can't wait to get back out there this year.
John,
Say hi to Joe and company for me tomorrow!
