will be there!!!

 

April Fools is on Saturday, not Sunday

Time changes this weekend. Everyone remember to spring forward...

 

Well, I was gonna go. But that time change means I lose an hour of beauty sleep.

I needs my beauty sleep.

Still pretty sick, so we'll see if I make it out or not.

 

picked up the new wheels/tires, almost ready for the 06 season...
my ems was delivered today (finally). if it arrives by saturday, i'll install it... and be out there on sunday.

 

hey! I said I would be there!!!

but I don't want to mess anything up on my car....do you mind pushing me around the track????

 

^ If my wheels would fit over your brakes we'd mount some real rubber on that thing, but then you'd have to let me drive it

See you there; it'll be fun.

 

I'll try to make it out there and get to laugh at Bob on auto-xing his pretty car.

 

Damon and Bob, just don't hold your breath or wait for him to start racing, for he has a Mexican Omega watch.

 

Remember we run rain or shine so there's no excuses

 

RAIN!?!? My car doesn't have windshield wipers....

 

LAUGH at me?!?!!? I wasn't the one getting beat by the 16 yo girl in her new miata..*cough*Robert*cough

 

I'm sure he was going slow so he could see her behind...

Do we get to do launches in the BMW afterwards?

 

NO WAY!! Why do you think I was noticable silent on the idea of you putting your slicks on my car for a spin around the track!!!

My M3 still smells of burnt rubber....

 

It was a beautiful day and 7racer made it out so I must apologize for giving him a hard time earlier. He drove great and after he reminded me how to drive the course I did ok too

 

Is it because of the Air Bag deployed when you hit the pot hole or you crap on your pants????

 

ha! I baby the M too much

Anyways, that autox was too fun! I think I came in 1st in SM2!!! There was another guy in a second gen that we kept out doing each other in times! I think he was a better driver but great fun none-the-less!!

Also, thanks to DamonB for riding in my car for pointers (advising me to drop 5lbs in the rears made a HUGE difference...also was a good learning point for me).

GOOD STUFF!!

How did Bob race SM2 with a stock M3????
Is this a typo???

 

^ Bob drove the FD. He must have the BMW in his registration profile info.

 

It's not too hard winning, when you are the only one in that Class.

 

HAHAHA yea I know...still a personal best for me...for once I felt like I was driving the car like I should instead of pushing little orange cones with the bumper lip or doing unintentional donuts!!!

Hey Damon, who do I contact about the M3 listing on the results? I need to be able to submit that to Mazdacomp so it needs to show I drove the 7.

 

Oh Robert,

you should check out the times the RX-8 guys where posting. They were on street tires!

Hey damon, do you know what tires those guys are running? Seeming plenty sticky!

 

Oh and look how my times got better and better...seriously! HUGE improvement for me

*pats back*

 

Bob, congrats.
I would have love to "come behind" the Miata girl.
