For sure you can count up to three, but you have NO SENSE OF HUMOR.
For the record, it was a joke, if you didn't know.

No worries....I have to egg Robert on for his slow driving and he gets me back for the same!

Here are some pics from the auto-x

Hey damon, do you know what tires those guys are running? Seeming plenty sticky!
The Blue BS RX8 was running Kumho V710. I'm not sure what the Red STU RX8 was running. Some street tires obviously.

By the way - did anyone get any pictures of the first heat? Specifically of the Red RX8 in BSP.. Number 8? Post them here if you do. Thanks.

Stock shock rules allow different bumpstops and my bumpstops are errrrmmmmm..... modified I get more compression travel before bottoming the car which means I can generate slightly more cornering power before hitting the bumpstops...

I didn't think you could run V710s in BS.

I did talk to someone who owned an RX7 but didn't bring it that day. Was that you? I offered you to ride along on one of the runs...

Edit: Actually, I think that was 10thAnniv.

As for flying.. the Red 8 in STU and the Blue 8 in BS were flying. I was just flying all over the track. I felt like I was taking first place in a drifting competition. It was ugly. Need better tires and bit more practice.

Thanks 10th! That's exactly what I was looking for! Excellent. Actually I think it was you I talked to that day. You said you got a good picture of me at the finish.

Heck I forget. Either way - see you all at the next event! TMS bus lot.
