    I'm bringing two sets of rain tires. Since not having rain tires almost guarantees rain, and having rain tires almost guarantees no rain; what does two sets of rain tires do??? :P

    I hear it may be one of the largest fields for Short Course...Lots of cars, IT7 & SM. Bodyshopdotcom will have the phone lines open early prescheduling repairs. Call about our 2 for 1 specials...

    Who's going??

    Evan,
    Big field, IIRC, there are 16 or so ITA cars entered. 40 cars total in G8. IT7 was moved to a different group. ROFL..Lightweight M3.. I don't care who you are, that's funny..

    Fog!!!
    Unless you bring a chicken to sacrafice. If you do that, we will have sunny weather.

    Buddy is finishing up the cage in the Mustang right now. Tammy and I are going to pick it up in Orlando on Saturday and head down to Sebring with it.
    Everyone is welcome to stop by and check it, and my new motorhome out. (A Gulfstream Super C, 33ft, built on the Chevy Kodiak medium-duty truck chassis, great for towing!)

    Hopefully the shaving cream will keep the fog off my windshield and the Spec Miatas away from my car. Hopefully I won't have to hit up one of my sponsors, Bodyshop.com, for any repair work after this weekend. I heard over 300 cars are entered.

    I was hoping Evan was going to start driving one of those new cars. Maybe I can give you some help getting them prepared... I'll see you there, from behind.

    The crash happend at T5 (long course T13). Cars involved at the scene were Mike Gunther in an ITS Rx-7 and Tucker Alford in an ITA CRX. I saw Tucker standing with a corner marshall but I believe Mike was transported to Highlands Memorial. It did look like Mike sustained a hard hit. I hope he was just shook up.

    More on the weekend later.

    It kinda puts a damper on the weekend when you see 2 of the nicest people at the races with wrecked cars. From what I heard, all parties are shaken but ok. Tucker was loading the CRX on the trailer and I did not see Mike...not sure of his condition.

    The SARRC race was insane!! The red BMW was there in full force, I qualified .280 off him for pole...thought it would be more (his fast race lap in the dry was 3 sec faster than dry qualifying!). The race started in real wet and nasty conditions but steadily improved thru the race. In typical fashion, the beemer got ahead and we had a battle deluxe! he was leading me into a pack of lap traffic and clobbered a 240sx ITS car (another nice group of guys with a wrecked car).that put me ahead for the win! Marc ran a great race and it was a pleasure running with everyone here! The regional was dry so it was not a race for me with the BMW...he was 2 seconds a lap faster in the dry on kumho's (I was on R3S05's). I can say I LOVE it when it rains! 3rd overall and 2nd fastest lap of race! See ya all at Moroso!
    edit...3rd fastest...well i tried!!!

    I talked to Mike shortly after the race, and he said he was ok. The car however, may be done, very hard hit on the left front corner. I believe the ambulance responded for the porsche driver from the previous GT race. I know Jeff Bailey and Mike Sydnor (Orlando Fire Dept paramedics and racers) advised him he needed to be evaluated.

    Some good racin" despite the weather.

    good to hear everyone is ok.sorry about tucker.good guy!!!!
    evans maybe they'll put an SIR on the bmw????
    p.s. did you know that the reg.race they gave out 1st to 3rd place trophies,just to let you know you and all other competitors know they have to email tucker and he'll send it to you.
    that trophy was the best very impressive i'll surely display mine instead of putting it away in the closet.

    I think the 325e needs a 2.7mm SIR lol...trophy is awesome!! something useable. I will proudly display that one (its a really cool clock). Now if we can order us up some rain, I can save on the tire budget for Moroso!!

    Sorry to hear about the crash but I'm glad everyone is ok.

    Tucker, I hope the car isn't too bad. I have an old hood and front bumper. They are yours if you need them.

    Evan, congrats on running that BMW down. I'll have to see if my new little white Civic SI can run down that integra of yours at Moroso.

    Cool! cant wait to see the new ride...How did you get the lenzes yellow on your car? Mine are turning yellow from the helicopter tape being old...it looks kinda cool but not as cool as full yellow lights. I have seen a few like that and would like them for mine too!!
