Bob... Welcome to the class. It will be great racing with you!

Since you are new to the class I thought I'd let you in on a little secret. You see, ITS is a lot more civilized than the SM crowd. We don't run around in a wide open, hell bent for leather, win at all cost frenzy. We think everyone should get a chance to stand at the top of the podium. And since it's been so long since my last win, everyone got together and voted to let me win this weekend at VIR (Thanks guys!). I just thought I'd let you in on this so you wouldn't come out and embarrass yourself by setting a new track record or something uncivilized like that.

See you at the track!

Track record!!! Did someone say track record?????
It may be a little early for that!
We are starting with a 99 SM with out the restrictor plate so it wont be fast.
Dont worry Steve I wont mess up Your win at VIR.

I just got the results of the vote today so I will add the required 200 pounds of ballast that all the non winners are supposed to run. I will bring enough for Bob if he doesn't bring his own. Just drop by my trailer and we can install it in the morning. ;)

Thank you guys so much for your cooperation. I really thought we would get into that "hanging chad" debate again.

Hey, I thought you guys were going to let Jeff win this weekend? You know, he's worked do hard with the TR8 and all, and since everybody gets a chance to stand on the podium, well, might be his turn to have one.

Those miatas will be fast in ITS (already are) and I think they will have a chance at the big tracks too when fully built and ready to play.

Coon dogs and moon Shine! How about that?
The dogs name is Jim and he's a good dog, as far as dogs go and just loves to hunt.
We try to go about once a week just to get out of the house and to drink some good shine.
Mostly go in Surry county NC big coons and lots places to go.
Glenn "the lead coon dog tuner" and myself are meeting Bill Dinkins and and some of his pals tonight,no moon so I dont know if we will tree one or not!
Jim old Blue and Red are barkin so its time to go. See you at VIR(stop and see me, maby we will have some shine left over from tonight.)
