As always, autox was a blast and it was nice to see 117, 88, and 22 out there as well tearing it up. See you guys in 2 weeks at TMS?


Not that it matters, but I don't see my name on the event roster (today's) - weird. I guess I'm

I had a great time hanging out Scott. And big thanks to Chris P. for the ride-along and great pointers.

No, we moved a while back. Bought a house in North FW/Keller area. Just south of TMS and Cabela's. I remember feeling an earthquake a few years ago when we did live in Euless though. We lived right across from the airport at 360/Harwood (Village Dr.).

Patrick glad your doing ok, pics look scary.
Thanks Scott. I'm still feeling pretty sore but still not a single bruise on me other than from where they stuck me with the iv. Hopefully i will have a car by the next autox at tms but who knows. I will still be out there to at least ride along though.

Just kind of looking around right now until insurance stuff is taken care of. Looking at wrx/sti, gto, another Genesis or possibly a tundra. I've also debated the idea of a mazdaspeed3

So on my drive out to MW I guess my exhaust broke at my mid-pipe.

Sucks ! I hope I can get it welded back together.

I'm gonna make some calls today and ask some shops.

Chris, any idea why it's pulled apart so much? Is it just the free play in the hangers?

it may have be cracked along weld, and then a sudden jerking turn could have made it flex and break
