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:

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?***

Re: (HR) Ratpackers Make a Splash! (fastzr1)
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:

Re: (HR) Ratpackers Make a Splash! (fastzr1)
Are you sure those rockers only fit the ZR1, I love those rockers! you don't think they would fit a regular coupe? :nonod: Oh yeah I'm pretty sure DRM is selling them, they were in last years catolog.
Oh you guys make me sick:U Having all that fun :steering: while I'm stuck out here on the "Big E" :flag with more than my share of water all around. I can't wait to get back! Hopefully I'll see you guys at Pungo the weekend of the 12th right? :thumbs: Well drive' em like you stole 'em and I'll see ya when I pull back in. Jason
