it was a blast learning my car's limits.

as mentioned earlier by chupa, tires will be the best bang per buck upgrade for our cars.

i think i'll be signing up for that novice event next month.

" Interestingly enough, my car handled a lot better with 2 people in the car. I could really throw the throttle all the way down and it just planted." Sayeth la chupacabra (sucks goat's blood). Seriously, when your rider steers the turns AND throws the shifts it is a different course, of course. If you had just one more run I still think you would time into +42. That's a 10% improvement. Wouldn't surprise me if a wheel/tire fitment resulted in an additional 5-7% advance. You guys looked good out there and the regulars are already gunning up for next attacks. Everyone around me commented on the appeal of these rides. Yeah, we know...

The advice I was given was absolutely key to my times. I know I'd be a lot slower if Phil hadn't ridden along with me.

I'm thinking that with just tires, we'd have fallen in with the lower 40's club. At least the mid-40's.

And here is the video for your visual entertainment:

Mine is also an AT and I tend to have a flexible schedule. Sounds like Bruce took care of it but if they need an auto in the future I don't mind stopping by.
