you hit that right on the nose. this is where LSD comes in big time.

my car is almost there. i did find myself on the gas so much earlier than before at this event. i've lifted up the car an inch since then, and probably another inch once i get down to the shop to do it. After the May 9th event at VMSC I'll see how I compare to Courtney, and then decide if i'm going to go all out. (i.e. 14x8" wheels, hooisers, LSD, flywheel, etc.)

oh yeah, i finished 8th in PAX. who finished 9th?

Chad, I took the liberty of sorting each class by time and then positioning the overall PAX'd results:

oh, so beating you wasn't good enough. I need to beat you by a mile? hey, winning is winning, whether it's by and inch or....you know the rest, lol.
wait and see if i get new wheels/tires/LSD/flywheel, then i'll be flying like an F-14.

this is just my way of getting my teammate to hustle up

My car is heading to the shop for an alignment and some new shoes.... Hopefuly it will help. I wish my seats had gotten here, but they are on back order and will be another 2 weeks. Oh well see you guys this weekend.
