I meant he was talking about selling out at CMP, but yeah, hopefully he's still around in any fashion, the paddock humor would decrease by 75%

Seems like every day is a struggle!

I was telling Mark in November I was seriously considering selling everything and taking up golf. I was really down. My wife had had some serious health issues during the spring and summer, I had an eye problem that required me to cancel Watkins Glens, and I was just sick and tired of prepping the car. All of those issues manifested themselves in late fall and I was really and truly ready to hang it all up.

Since then, things have leveled out a bit. The laughs around the paddock have picked up and I'm getting ready for another season. Whether I make it through the whole thing, who knows, but I'm looking forward to CMP in Feb.

Now, where in the ***** is that wing and splitter I ordered?

Man jody's been talking about selling all his gear for the past 4 years.

Assuming nothing falls off, hopefully I'll be at R/A in March. I guess Rob Leopard will be all back together by then. Should be a good turn out, Rob, Tim, Tony J (FF), Kevin C (RX7), Russ D (RX& or GTO), Bob Lutz (Mustang or Panoz)and a host of others I'm sure I left out. I guess Jason will be amongst us by then, too.

black C5Z, yellow rookie stripe, car darting 5 different ways at once, can't miss him

maybe scott if we can drag him out of bed, he sleeps in till 11 am these days

Jason

I almost took him up on the offer a couple years ago.

Falcon

Damn! Just think, if you'd done that my hip wouldn't be hurting right now, I'd be on the golf course, I'd have more money, you'd have captured the Southeast ST2 championship 2 years in a row, and vied for 2 National Championships, and had a smile on your face that no one could have wiped off.

At the end of each year, my age catches up with me, and it's hard to want to do all that's necessary for the following year. After sitting around for a month, I remember just how much fun it is, and all the friends at the track, and I start up, again.

This past year was different, though, I was really burned out.

How soon I am forgotten

Z06cool

You have to be considered first before you're forgotten...:o

Falcon

Sorry, didn't mean to forget you.

I thought you were just driving that this year until Michael sold the car. Is he going to keep it?

varkwso

Mike is as wishy, washy as you Somedays he is gung ho and others he is tired of it. The inevitable bugs in a used race car did tend to try his limited patience..

So right now he is keeping it and I am putting in some upgrades

beerkat

Jody I think that you just miss Fc not being at the track last year.

drivinhard

we'll know in march

Jody,

If you get tired of prepping your car, you can come down the road 5 miles and prep mine!!!!

Saw mike today. He is in for TTS and a limited ST2 schedule next year.

Falcon

Hey Kevin! Yea, that's the ticket! I just need more stuff to fix!

Seriously, I'm getting excited about the 2011 season. I'll start next week changing the fluids, pads, rotors and straightening up all the stuff that needs fixin' in preparation for CMP in Feb.

I'm going to hardwire my camera in place, and I have to run a hot wire to my radio. I'm also getting a new dyno run next Wednesday to see if I can unload more weight.

Plus, too and also, I'm getting some new shlt, and I'll need a test day to see if it works.

I have next week off and nothing else to do....unless I go out and buy the PS3 with the new Grand Turismo 5.

Falcon

Is he planning in CMP on Feb or are you going to run it?

sperkins

Good to hear.

varkwso

We will be at CMP not sure who will run ST2 yet.

drivinhard

275's and you can peel some serious weight off
