Pete,

I'll take it if nobody else wants it. I feel like I can give back to the community a little.

Rob

Chasing the win light is much more satisfying than chasing ET...

You and I are not chasing ET. We're chasing win lights. So how do you say I have given up whooping your ***??

Who won the most rounds last year per event entered? I'll give you a hint. It was me...

Who will win the most rounds in 2013? Time will tell.

I'm looking forward to lining up with you next year. Prepare to buy me a large hot cocoa.

I'm not sure about that rounds per event thing. I'll have to consult my log book. Otherwise I agree 100%. But we both know ls doesn't give a **** about bracket racing and was referring to a heads up race.

I'm all over that like a hobo on a ham sandwich

I can understand retiring from something that doesn't provide the same level of satisfaction

Looking forward to seeing you at the track Pete... The 2013 season can't come soon enough

I still cringe when I see the photos of your last car in my mind (I don't need to look at them online, once was enough) and hope the next one is just as awesome

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find something you like and have your choice of one or both: The CC and/or GM EFI, next season, where we can chase a win light regardless of DA. Besides, I don't like freezing my azz off just to get another tenth - I can buy a 10th if it meant that much to me

After reading the title thread I thought you were going over to the correct side of the tracks and go road racing. Large hot coca on the house.

Pete has no intentions of building a car that fast. Although if he did, he could buy yours, wait for a great air day, add a small shot of N20 and then it might be a race

Oh and he better make sure he can cut a light trying to do it.
