I actually might be down for something on Saturday, but I would be heading back down this way to hit up a local show/hang out. Mike and I usually hit on the high school chicks that night, so I don't wanna miss out on that! Let me know what the plan is though!

Keith, I'm sure you remember the day after drinking when you were younger. You were 21-22 in, like 1950, right?

Many people may think its easy to run good times I always hear "all you need is slicks or DR's" truth be told thats not the case for all. Like I said above Id like to see you out at a track day, lets see what kind of times you can pull

I had a blast running you as well, Kirk told me he was going to post up my in car *** ups. Both runs when I missed a gear, his camera was in my car-those 2 runs were against you. I forgot how close of a finish I also had with you-it was something like .003 very close to what I beat davidd by. BTW-you type pretty good when your drunk lol...

New MIR Z day vid...
you may want to right click on the link and download it to disk. It is 14megs so it will take a couple of min. My server links should be pretty fast.

Thanks for posting that always good to see the screw ups, I held my hand different for the 3-4 shift on the first run and I failed
Second run my timing just looked off, luckily no nasty mis-shifts with grinding/dropping it into wrong gear. On those two runs I raced Mike (mdracer) as you can see in the 2nd run I gave it just enough gas to make it a photo finish beat him by a few thousandths of a second to the line Thanks for posting Kirk
