That's not the fast line through 3 Jeff.....

THere was another photographer there besides the one that took this. During the group 5 race he was at the turn 2 flag station and at the turn three, drivers right flag station behind the wall. He got some good shots of me so I REALLY want to track him down. Anyone???

besides Ahbi's buddy?

and Ahbi doesn't scare that easily... LOL Though I bet he DID say something about that!

All I was thinking of was how grumpy Matt Kessler was going to get if Jeff and I brought back two broken cars.

It was right after my 1 minute conversation with the official on pit road, and so I was determined to unlap myself. Something about black flags....

So Lawton says he's in for the Memorial Day Triple...I'm in, is this going to be a full on ITA throwdown with the new Teg owners, a 240SX some CRXi, and Abhi, Jim, Black Betty etc?

[CRallo]

I'll go if you can get Shane up there...

but probably still not. Planning to spend my few dollars racing places I've not raced at yet. Plus Lime Rock... maybe

I was trying to use the "shock and awe" on Abhi!! For the previous laps i actually thought it was Brad running me down. The first time I realized it was Abhi was going into the braking zone in 3 of that lap. I think I was so relieved it was "Sound Boy" and not Brad I got a little too excited.


I don't know about a "throw down" for Memorial Day. Andy banging out 15s while the rest of us are doing 18s..........

And yes, after looking at the data, I see 17s in my future!!! LOL Seriously, I'll be very happy if I can reach the low 17s!!

Now that I have a Miata, i hope to do more socializing at the events!! Get back to having fun at the races! Denise and Dan, Krista wants me to make sure I get a garage near you guys! LOL

[Andy Bettencourt]

Sorry Mick! I didn't think you liked to run NHMS!!!

[Ed Funk]

Mickey likes to run anyplace his car doesn't break....kinda like us.

I like that strategy!

Sounds like a good plan. See you there!

neither do I...

[Seabee]

Jeff, you have done so well drinking from the cup. Keep drinking.

[Andy Bettencourt]

Well it's all relative. Not my favorite track but great facilities and IMHO the BEST value of any weekend on the calendar. 1 qual and three races.

No worries though you're not far from the truth. Last time I was at NHMS, I over-reved in July's 2010 NARRC race, which lead to engine disaster at WGI later in that month. I did get my novice permit there in '09, which was nice. Before that, I
ran with COMSCC since 05-08 and did at least 10 weekends there, all having to tow from albany or NYC (ugh). The COM folks are awesome but that NHMS surface!!! and that rough, tire eating, brake eating turns and all we get is a large autocross-like track... $$$$ to only have you Andy run 15's... ok, I am depressed now.

Mickey likes to run anyplace his car doesn't break....kinda like us.

If that's the case, I will let Teresa know it's time to move out of the Northeast cause I refuse to drive POCONO only! I wonder if there's any good jobs in southeast area where the restaurants are as good as NYC... Bueller?

I am committeed to NARRC in 2012... as long as I can keep the car from overrevs, walls, large objects, curbs, etc.

I like that strategy!

Ed is definitely a contender. Like Lawton, I would be happy with 17's at NHMS. FYI, I hope to stick around Monday and run open like-track format with COM.

[Andy Bettencourt]

Then that weekend is going to be awesome!!!

[Ed Funk]

I'll be there in the B car, or maybe C, or maybe HP, or maybe all three! But there ain't no way the new A car will be ready!

Steph is this years Trophy Person, so I'll be honored to present the beer mug to the winner of this bash. (Prolly shouldn't have said "bash")

[gizmo83]

Ed,I have yet to find a track where the car doesn't break!
Jeff we are in North garage 17!

I finally get to the 19's and now everyone is running <17's???
Still two + seconds away!!
Well at least I had fun
