    I’m really late here, but better than never…..

    Thanks to:

    Greg for taking off the panties and driving the piss outta that car.

    Dave and Mel for the beers. Special thanks to Dave for capturing Greg’s Reverse Half-Lindey out of the car.

    Crazy Joe for the entertainment, smokes and Monster. I mean, just lookin at him makes me crack up.

    Jake for even better entertainment (setup scene) and Monster.

    Tim Rogers, Kevin Hart, Brian Cembor: Nissan dudes, very nice guys and excellent crew. Really couldn’t ask for more.

    Vinny DiGuisseppe, my body guy, for spiffing up the car at 2am the Monday before the event, forcing me to get some sleep because I was too high from the paint fumes to keep working.

    Gene Gardner of Gardner Engineering Lab (Wallingford, CT) for the rush welding and brazing. If you have two pieces of *any* metal and want them attached, find him.

    Pete Chillemi of East Coast Machine (North Haven, CT) for most of what I know about making power and use of the machines. Pete specializes in American V8 restricted/rules engines. Trying to get him to start rippin up AS……

    Atlanta Region for the smooth event. Things actually happened *ahead* of schedule. Tech only took a long time cuz I was low on Monster….

    Andy Bettencourt for calling the NX “cute”. Pretty much the main motivation I had to make the car fast. Now who’s got the cute car?

    Finally, thank you Monster energy drink inventor guy :figo: …..You have given a fat, chain-smoking, 30-something year old guy the energy of a fat, chain-smoking 20-something year old guy!

    Matt

    BTW-We don't need no stinking SIR....taking brib…err…donations (cases of Monster work well) for slowing the NX down……

    VIR is what Road Atlanta USED to be, prior to the removal of the Dip. Recalls a time when men were men and the sheep were scared...

    Hey, Kevin, Butch is Right There.

    I'll send you a DVD of the track from inside Kirk's killer Golf, so you can see what'll look like from inside one of those slow Acuras...you know, so you can get your timing and all that...

    :P

    Hell, I'll even send you a DVD of in-car from the 1991 Runoffs so you can wonder in amazement. JoeD was over this past weekend and we watched it; his response was precious...

    I like Road Atlanta a lot. It has lots of places where you are doing two things at once, turning and dropping, turning and rising, and so on. Plus, it's got some sections that need a special bit of attention, and some blind corners too. But theres really nothing scary about it.

    Now the old track.......THAT looks like it could scare you the first few laps!



    Finally, thank you Monster energy drink inventor guy :figo: …..You have given a fat, chain-smoking, 30-something year old guy the energy of a fat, chain-smoking 20-something year old guy!

    Now THAT is some funny chit!

    Matt, the first step is admitting there is a problem....you're almost there....lets work on it a bit more!

    (And folks......don't be like me and go to get him some Monster and then discover there are THREE varieties! Uh oh! Now what??? He likes the one thats in the red and black cans...and yes, he will probably do more for a can of Monster than he would for the equivilent amount of cash....)

    Here you go, for the integras! Vids are from March this year, when I thought there was a chance the cute red egg might have made it out. An Integra won that race and it's all on you now Kevin to stop the egg.
