This from the guy that told me, "just go to Home Depot and get a 90 degree elbow for that intake." Sure, sure, Home Depot has metric size rubber hosing.

Hey... just because YOU can't make it work doesn't mean it doesn't work.

You'd be surprised how many "metric" sizes are close to engrish ones. Well, as far as "holes" and hoses go...

how did this suddenly get pornographic?? unintentional.

Sean, I have low adhesive shelf paper and a big magnetic rectangle for when I ran Kumho tires with the Kumho sticker... basically, put the shelf paper on top of the magnetic and write in your own number... peel off shelf paper when you are done... inifinite number possibilities...

The Pro Tape guy won't be there and you cannot use shoe polish....

You best be worried about making it through the course without DNF, that's all I'm saying! hehehehe

But not like I won't be DNS or anything....

That course was SO awesome, minus the dirt and gravel everywhere.

I wish I could have stayed and taken pictures. Maybe next time.

Best memory of the event was watching SeanT (SpinT) spin in corner 2 directly in front of Terry and Amy...and then again in corner 3, directly in front of me and Jeremy... It was greatness!

This event was unusually long..most of us only took 4 runs..because after the first set of runs (Heat 1-3), it was 3pm !! Though Paul said they were done by 5:30pm....

Congrats to Handkimchee for putting his Victo's to good use with TTOD last I heard...even though Jim Harris used them more!

Bitch, please. You spun too (in an AWD car on race tires no less), and I NEVER spun at corner 3. I know, because I worked corner 3. I think you have your corners confused. Maybe you're thinking corner 4.

Dammit!! I just called Nerces. He beat me by 0.2s. I came in second. Still, he's got 100+hp on me and that straight away should have made more of a difference. If I stayed in the afternoon, I feel like I could have dropped half a second or more just with the course "clearing up" a little bit. Stay in the gravel free lanes!!! Better luck next time.

I'm just curious if any of the "sweeter" guys at the event came up to Fair to ask him why his license plate read "Pinky"?

D'oh, that sucks Brian. Is Nerces the guy in the black M3 that made the course?

Nerces owns Autoscope. He has the Dakar Yellow M3 with full suspension, Dinan supercharger and brand new Hoosiers.

I think after Terry ripped a 106 on street tires in the dirt they all shut up.

Considering how much the coarse cleaned up in the afternoon I am sure Brian would have dropped half a second if not more.
