Is it me or has anybody seen the MAJOR change in Rick when The Boss is around? Like night and day. I even saw Rick eat a salad at QS&L when he was being supervised.

Not sure if I'll be back in town and don't want to register/pay in advance. I can bring the Cherokee or SRT-4 and run the handicap race.

You don't have to pay until you show. Just register before. If you can run the SRT-4, you can run the Vette. What do you think, Rick, is Randy a little nervous about putting that magnacharger into competition?

i just keep my mouth shut

but they are coming with sticky tires this time, so it should be fun, but the roll bar really stiffened my ride up a good bit. only time will tell.

NUMBERS. I'm going to contact the guy that made self paper numbers for us last time and want to know who wants some. So far I have Andy's (427). Just tell me what color you want and I'll see if I can get 2 sets of numbers for each guy. Chris, I know you told me your number, but I lost it.

Yeah I think Zaino is running a "How to make your car look like you never drive it" clinic that day, so I doubt they will be able to make the race

I was kidding about the handicap race as I thought you were when you brought it up. Handicap race? Kinda like bracket racing where a $200 VW Bus can beat a Lingenfelter 427 TT? I thought it was "run what you brung"...the Maggie doesn't help in autoX and neither does the lightened flywheel. Sticky tires do but I don't have those...but no biggie it's all in fun anyways.
