WOW! The grasshopper taught the sensei.. that's a pleasant change... I have to be honest loren is every bit as compeditive as I am, even if he "plays it off" to be honest I didn't sleep last night because I had 100 diffrent Ideas floating in my head (and I never intended to run this event) but I was sitting wide awake at 5:00 AM (I am a non sleeper when I feel a challenge) and decided to enter. I showed up at the shop at 6:00 AM and started working on the car. removing the wipers, taping the front, and installing a methanol injection system. I really intended to "cheat" by using the crapload of methanol I had in some barrels at my shop, but low and behold. those barrels were filled with waste veggie oil, and no good. so I had to pay $3 per 12 ounce and actually hurt my overall calculation. but they did allow me to force the ECU into lean mode.. on the few times I needed some Really hard acceleration.

But I'll agree, I am a student of the "go big or go home" school it's how I build cars and how I compete. this was just a whole new challenge and I loved it.
