    Stop it, Matt - you're making me sad.

    New tires arrived today. Getting those Hankooks mounted this weekend and the car ready to go. Got new brakes as well, so should be able to go AND stop!

    Yeah, my Runoffs schedule got changed, so instead of having a 1:30pm session to make at Road America on Monday, I know have a 8am session to make. That just made everything a little too rediculous to make work, so I had to punt on the Grand-Am weekend. Sucks, as the IT side of me has been waiting 10 years for an event like this to happen, but the Prod side of me knows what's really important at the moment. So that being said, I'll still be at Mid Ohio all weekend through Saturday night, but leaving for Road America ~8am Sunday morning for an ~3pm arrival.

    Wuss - there's plenty of time to drive RA after Sunday's race

    BTW, my money's on you at the Runoffs - you were looking SO strong at Grattan until that last lap.

    You two need to stay away from each other (and Miata's) on the start...

    Sorry I am missing it.

    (I did at least get my transmission put back together last night.)

    Anyone know if they'll let us in the gate late Thursday afternoon and allow us to stay the night inside?

    Yes. No registration until Friday morning, but we will be able to get in the gate and setup 'home' for the weekend. I've got an allignment appointment for 5pm Thursday and will be at the track after that.

    See you all there!

    Steve - We still need to see your in car video. I think we just need to stay away from Miata's period

    I didn't know you two got together until after the race - I was too busy trying to miss the Miata.

    Thanks for posting. Thats the video Downing and I were looking for.
    Holy bump drafting Batman! You're car has some serious torque!

    It appears that the white Miata may have locked his brakes? (cause you can see the car get goofy under braking) Hit Matt and that turned him to the right and in to me. He cought my left front fender/bumper which cut his right front tire. Bummer.

    But thats hard, tight, and close racing!
