    It's simple! Now that you have the car that can't lose, with a motor from a builder who builds better than Chuck Norris, driven by the original 'Shut Up and Drive' guy, NOBODY wants a piece!!!!

    Could also be that life is in the way. Thats my excuse. Dont worry Jeff, we will all show up eventually. There are fewer races so more potential for higher entry counts. Supply and Demand at its best.

    See you at the Memorial Day Race.

    We are lurking in the shadows lol

    And honestly, I feel little need to race at that track. It is the only one I actually RACED last year... time for another track.

    I think you've been doing this long enough where you should be the mentor!

    I'll be there but I betcha I have a steeper learning curve than you!!

    This is a new build, right? Have you had Matt go through the suspension and do the set-up? As long as you've done that, as we said to Dan, I don't think it's going to be all that different than the Escort........ except it will be faster!!

    I beg to differ...
    I do know the track and racing line, I will agree with you there, but...
    As everyone has been saying, there are a lot of Integra drivers out there and they are willing to unload a ton of information regarding suspension set-up.
    I was hoping that someone in that category might be available to answer questions as we get in the integra for the first time and try to get the set-up correct.
    Jeff, You have been a front of the pack driver since I have been involved in racing, I have never been all that close to even the middle! I'm still not convinced my finishing position wasn't driver and not car.
    I feel I still need mentors to learn where I lack skill and knowledge.
    Hopefully I haven't used up my alloted mentoring yet!

    If anyone is good with DL1 stuff and wants to hang out Saturday night to teach me let me know what your favorite beer is and how much you want! I may stay over at the track if you're willing to hang out! Onething I am trying to figure out is how to get my dash 3 to work with my CAN adaptor. I should call Jeremy but I haven't had any time to do so while plugged in with the car, and sadly I have very little time before the race weekend.

    Mickey,
    I am not sure of that statement based upon your success as a driver!!!
    You must be doing something right!

    Gonna try and make it...
    Life can get complicated and make having fun tough.

    I think i am going to need to find some new tires, or some power, or some talent with all the evolutions in the NER ITA group!

    I am hoping it is about 100 degrees and 90 percent humidity. Sweat it out and see you at the end of the 45 min!

    As always... Free tequila shots to all registered racers on Saturday night, on me!

    Brad, No it was time to freshen up the body and I decided to have the dings and dents taken out and have it repainted. The shop is only 6 weeks behind promised delivery

    I also decided to have the motor checked out and freshened, and need to install it once I get the car back. I planned to have all this completed by the end of February, but here I am
