Don't put it to the test on the first run - there's a row of bushes and a cross street right after the strip ends!

XKR: I'll probably be the slowest guy at this event, lol, but one day I will be the fastest (or at least faster).

Audible Mayhem: I'll try to stop by after work sometime this week; what time do you guys usually leave?

I might be going crazy, but this was originally planned for Wednesday the 14th right?

It's no biggie for me, I just could have sworn it was for a day earlier.
