We'll see how good those goodyears are against Charles' new tires next month.

Now if we only had a locking diff.

Right...you heard me blaming my final drive right away! When a course is designed so I don't need to worry about shifting to 3rd, or I can really use 3rd...it's not going to be the reason I'm faster....I will be the reason! =)

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Glad you made it home OK! Those track clean-up guys get real excited when they have something to do. It makes their day! I'm not sure what class you run, but if you are running race rubber, I have had very good luck buying scrubs from John Berget Racing Tires . Great prices vs new.

I think Tires Plus is having a sale on Off Road tires too!

Thanks for the link Scott. Hey my car is a boy is it so surprising he likes to play in the dirt?

Robert (DP MR2) caught up to me on the Turnpike so that was good as well incase something had happened.

Oh man if Terry had been working I would have never heard the end of it. It was a bummer he wasn't working though I haven't seen him in awhile

I really like that course so I am looking forward to going back to try it again. I have had better runs there.
