We're still getting snow (just this Monday actually) up here so I've forgotten what having traction was like.

Chris, we are all still learning....just because we have a few more events under our belt doesn't qualify us as being a better driver...or at least that goes for me. Plus there are a couple guys that just started like Damon & Pat....not sure about EzPotato ?

Just don't feel too bad when I have faster times than you !

You haven't beat me so far, but I heard you've gotten faster so I know that's bound to change. I can almost guarantee I've gotten slower.

BTW, don't you have 3.7 gears or am I thinking of somebody else? If you do, that alone with your 5AT will help a lot.

Hey Imported Performance, it looks like you had a nice turnout for your open house. Sorry I couldn't stay but it was nice to meet you and to see the car. Looking forward to seeing it on the track.

Yes ilya,
Dyno was fun out there....it was a nice place. I wonder how many cars they got done ?? It was very nice to meet you & your GF. You guys should have stayed longer....we could have figured something out for grub. Anyways we ordered ifratelli's Pizza. Had a great time to just sit and chat with my favorite AutoX peeps....good times guys & gal ! Jody was pretty scared that it was going to start hailing and wanted to park in the garage....Lol. But that wind was halacious ! I saw a lot of tress & fences down in the neighborhood. Also as I drove around today, I saw many homes with the shingles blown off. I checked mine out and all is good.
