LOLZ, bless your heart Andy... Not that you would have had to look so far for an engine overhaul pic on a three decade old car......but that particular one looks like it comes from someone in the business of parting 944s...., notice the other one in the foreground with the fender off. The strut tower and windshield washer reservoir are unmistakable... Noticed your name pop up on the b'day reminders and while it'd be easy and so wide open of a door to use the analogy of falling short once again vs. being able to say you were 'Born on the 4th of July', it'd spoil the sincerity towards my favorite nemesis, Happy Birthday dude....!

Looking forward to participating in this event, the Mini has missed this track in a while!

Way to go Reggie, great group of guys and finished second last year if I recall. Still need more cars, Cannon hasn't signed up yet nor has Haydel and the other school boxster. Wonder if we could see Darby and his gang our there. Rumor has it Baldwin Motors is trying to put together a deal. We'll keep lookin! 30 cars pays 2k to win, call your friends!

Simmer down there cowboy, Chris still has to find a way to relocate the alternator to the inside of the car so he can change it while going a buck 5 through turn one. Glad your participating, should be a fun event.
Chris

Mighty quiet in here. Has everyone given up already? CCM promises not to put too many laps on the field

CCM promises not to put too many laps on the field Heh heh, knowing the uncertainty of all things beyond control, even Carver, like me, aint gonna tempt fate more than just a little bit and here you are, poking at the albatross. Risking that this post won't make sense to the majority here....sooner or later, when your stint comes due, you're gonna be out there on that mariner's raft all by your lonesome with "water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink...." That takes b@lls, and for that, I applaud you sir.... Now who'd a thunk you could come check in at a race series driver's forum and get some parallels to Samuel Taylor Coleridge....!?!?!?! ;D T

Its good to see a little spirit going on around here. Nothing wrong with a little good ribbing. Great point about water everywhere but not a drop to drink. 2 plus hour stints are giong to seem that way. Just hoping to finish and not loose my mind in the process. Theory this year is to keep it simple, smile no matter what and hopefully watch the car do laps and whatever happens, happens. Chris

Few of you know me, but the ones that do know I was just trying to spark some conversation. I know my status as a rookie, but I also know my coach will steer me right .

No harm, no foul....as a matter of fact, I like a little smack talk myself but...., I did my share last year and was lucky enough to survive Murphy's wrath so I'm keeping a low profile this round. I think me and Carver went about tit for tat and never really dared to temp fate TOO much, just low level jabbing....maybe the karma police thought he went just a little over the line. You need all the planets to align to survive a thing like this. It's gonna be hella hot and most of these cars aren't LeMons cars that run one event with half of the time wrenching on them and then tucked away for 6 months to a year.....most of the entries are series race cars that have already been beat to death month in, month out. Good luck, T
