I'll be there #56 and so will my dad #59 now nicknamed "Pops Ricer". Someone please ask him when he is going to install his APC Altz taillights. No joke he has them. But, I think he is going to sell them.

This SHOULD be on the new stuff. We won't know 100% until Saturday. You can thank Saddam for the this. Eitherway, I'm designing the course This will be my first attempt at course design.

So will the design be based on the Talon or the Pick-up truck ?!?!

Talon! Which means fewer corners and longer straights


I'm acutally working on the design right now changing a few things. My original design was not clear enough...

And that whole thing about "being designed for a truck" was bullshit. Someone overheard Zigler joking with someone about it. The reason he said that was he and I were running the course in our trucks while building it.

I'm personally attempting to make the course a nice mixture so that it will be fun for everyone. The Test-N-Tune course is going to be pretty fast though.

Well, I had a pretty good time at this event, even with the rain. I got a chance to see how the r-compounds felt in the wet and I was pleasantly surprised.

Hell, I even beat some of the national level driver types (Ron and Terry come to mind) ! But to be fair, they were on street tires, but I don't care ! Of course when Ron drove my car, he beat my fastest time by a little over a second (and this was a 38 sec course or so). But he gave me some very god pointers (look out Jerry !!!).

The biggest surprise of the day for me was when I found out I beat Rod McGeorge (the yellow MR2 Spyder) and he had race tires on (the same Khumos as me) . There was no PA system due to the rain so I guess I won't really know until the results come out, but that is what I was told.

The spyder didn't ever look really comfortable yesterday. You looked good though James. I sucked. The results are already out.
