I know it is a big file and a long race. Anyone actually watched it yet?

Congratulations!

Dennis,
thanks for the compliment. I certainly hope top 10 finish in 2006. Hopefully I can sell the car and build a new one. If I don't sell it by mid Dec, I think I'm going to spend the dough and buy a better suspension.

How is is feel to be a PRO? It felt great, now I can call of you a lowly amateur.
Seriously, don't feel any different. Just nicer and faster car to play with.

There's a good, quick shot of you at the end of the SPEED broadcast of your drift-o through turn 3 from behind. Really nice slide!!! I recorded it on DVD, maybe I can transfer it to the computer if I get time to mess with it.

Looks like the extra horsepower from the good engine would've come in handy. You were good through the corners but they all walked away in the straight.
Good video

Question. What spring rates are you running?

I just wish I have better shocks. Can't compete with the $5K Moton those guys running. Some of them even run the 4 way $10K moton.

Since I have experience with the Motons, I can comfortably say they are well worth the money.

I estimated that the extra 40HP the good motor make would probably netted me a top 10 finish. But then again, I have no one to blame than myself for 'zinging' that motor.

The TV coverage for Touring is pretty good. But don't expect to see my car anywhere. Speed coverage used to be pretty even front pack to back. Nowadays, they are just concern with the front pack.

actually the seemed concerned with 4th-6th. Who was the guy who won and what was he driving? I think his team wanted him to slow down so they could get a little air time, with the lead he had they hardly mentioned him
