Cool Walt. Sean is gunning for you, he may have a couple of surprises on Saturday.

Just let me know if you want to meet the caravan or at the raceway.

Let me find out if anyone from up north here is into going. I will pm Josh too.

Sean was at ZCG when I called back to tell Rob how the gears worked on the highway and Sean was there. Heard something about F/I.

I would really like to race a F/I car that has never been to the drags before. I think that would be a good race for me........................once. I was very observant of the times the guys turned during their first runs at Infineon. Though I think I'm going to have a bit of traction problem too. I always have had one and the gears will make it worse. The startiing line at Sacto is supposed to be much better though.

In any event I like competing as an underdog and you don't get better competing with people you know you can beat.

For sure

It's at the Colusa Casino. It's not TOO far... but I wish it was at Shokowa. If you want to go to this one you'd have to hurry, tickets are running out. There's more info at www.gladiatorchallenge.com

Let me know if you go, I'll look for you!

You never know. I am going to have some serious traction issues until I figure out the right way to launch. I may have good trap speeds, but horrible times.

I can almost guaranty you will, but you will have the advantage of my old gears to help out

Sean is telling me that you are instigating, so why don't you race me on your very first run?

I figure I have to get one of you guys on your very first run to not be totally humiliated.

Weather looks like it will be good, so I hope more of you out there go.

Anna, I can't make this one on thursday, but keep me posted. Nothing better than watching two guys beat the $hit out of each other. Are you going to be on their web site??

Oh poop Ok, I'll keep you posted.. I know for sure in January my friend Jacob is fighting but if I hear of anything sooner I'll let you know.

I've been trying to get the pictures done for a MONTH now, the photographer is a total flake-a-holic. He keeps setting times and not showing up with his camera and tries to take me out. I'm about fed up beating him off with a stick! I don't need a vacation THAT bad. But if it happens, I'll be making a thread so maybe I can get some votes from the Z peeps Actually, the DoubleTrouble ring girls on there right now are pretty hot.. here is the link: http://www.norcalfightingalliance.com Enjoy!

Thanks!

Checked them out..........you will look better

If you get desperate I'm a pretty hot photographer. Don't know if you have seen my work on the board. (Z girls etc) and I probably won't hustle you..........can't guarantee it though.

Thanks Walt Haha, ok I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking about this recently and figured if I really want to do photos like these I can do it for something much more lucrative.
