Stephen,

Jeff's 89 smokes me every time. Race tires, suspension, brakes, and alignment make all the difference :steering:

We've got a twin of your car that runs Pungo with us every month! Come on out and play or just watch July 13 :auto:

A twin, huh? That much beautiful Orange is one place may be too much. :D

I should prepare for my Finals (MBA in Finance at W&M) that weekend but I hope to go to the event on the 12th, so, maybe I can ignore my work completely and go. :)

:cheers:

Stephen

Tony,
Take it easy on the Dog, she's got 150K on the clock, and blows a little smoke every now and then. :lol:

And the dog can smoke the tires if she gets loose in the corner. The back end will come right around in the sweepers.

***Russell must have left oil on the track, right Jeff?***

Yea! Yea! that's it, had to be oil from Russells RP car. No way it could have been driver/fastzr1 error. ;)

My theory is the driver/fastzr1 got distracted while hunting for the non existant power key. :lolg:

If you loose one milisecond of consentration, the dog will bite ya! Remember Fort Monroe. :eek:
