John:

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk to me at the sponsers tent & for also coming up to me in the lanes & giving me the deep stage tip..

Worked great, as in the Real Street event I cut .512 .512 .519 & .529 lights!

I was really struggling most of the day until I spoke with you...

I will also take your advice on the full tank of gas tip! :yesnod:

Again, your help & overall attitude is very much appreciated! :yesnod: :smash:

Just wanted everyone to read this....

Thanks again. Hope to see you in the #1 position leading us in the lanes soon!

Ellis

WOW, you said your lights were better but thats unreal.

I love lending my experance to racers who are wanting to learn, there is much more to this sport than hitting the gas and going fast as you are finding out. It's a game of adjustments. I can't tell you how much pleasure I get out of watching racers like yourself and Edgar, just to name a few that have come so far so fast.
Thanks again for the kind words, they mean a lot.
John
