Don't sweat it Goofy, everyone was running slower then normal thanks to the heat. I had a great time yesterday too. A special thanks to Brent for setting everything up, sorry about your car man. And Ryan's too. I hope to see both of them running strong at the next track event. Thanks to Keith and Tony's wife for handing out slips, and to Chris for bringing that nice grill.

hey bert was the only one running close to his normal times.everybody else was .3 to .7 slower then we normally run,so dont feel bad at all with that run.i as well as others were not real happy with the times we ran,but when its that hot and humid oh well.

on the way back from MIR yesterday in 5pm traffic with the rain coming down... a redneck in a 92 prelude had pulled over at a bar, gotten drunk, and resumed driving and tried to race me:

he also had a 24 of budweiser

Keith, let's go!!!

research..I'm slave to bacteria and cell cultures, and it's hard to use any instruments with broken fingers. Took me 20 hours to finish everything, then with the long drive I just couldn't make it to the track

sucks for me, but I'm glad you guys had a great time!

any more videos

Ryan-Black G = 3600
Dan (Celica) = 2325
Osix-Mike = 3170 **I told you the 06's werent heavier

Rico(sp?) Nightshade = 3170
Booby Ritz-Rob = 3500
Project Sherv = 3450
Ben-Poopra

= 3160
Kirk-Orange Z = 3160
Bob-Silverstone = 3230
Integrity-Charles = 3180
David = 3060 *Lightest Z there
Mike-MDRacer = 3290
Tony-EVO = 3190
Last but not least Brents roadster aka The tank = 3770

Pretty cool we did this guys for those that have dyno'd you can now calculate very accurate power to weight.

Booby? You guys are killing me.

My roadster tipped the scales at 3,450...with 3/4 tank of gas.
