Default Back home from INDY 2007!!!

Man, what a fun weekend. The drive was great and we saw things we've never seen before, St. Louis looks pretty cool.
We saw some of the biggest bee's ever and some weird spider web looking things in the trees somewhere is Illinois,
if anyone knows WTH they are please let me know. We watched about 7 movies on the trip there and back, its been a
long time since Ive watch a movie because im so busy lol. Indianapolis is awesome place but it is hard to find
our way around, Whoever designed this place needs to be punched, I guess us Utah locals got lucky because we have the
block system (Thanks Brigham Young) Anyway, we got kinda lost because of road closures and couldn't find the track but knew
we were close when we drove past John Force Racing, DSR motorsports, hoosier tires and Impact racing, that was cool.

The racing was crazy, Congrats to Gary Gardella and Jason Hunt for the great racing!

SFWD, Thanks to NHRA and Urban Racer again for making all this happen.

Tony, You are a bad ***. First Time out this season and you make everyone look silly, The race between me
and you in the semi's was just stupid, I think we got in each others heads, You tried to launch in 3rd and I shifted 1-2-1, thank
god I didn't destroy the engine. Im pulling it apart anyway, lol.

Felix, it was a pleasure to finally meet you and the crew, You guys got a bad hot rod in your possesion, keep up the great work.

Joe, Im sorry about all the issues, I just read about them, That sucks man, If its not one thing its another, That racing I guess.
Keep your head up. At least you didn't break another tranny.

Kyle, Congrats on your new Personal best ET and MPH, Sorry it took me so long to get the car dialed, Great driving brotha.

Jasen, you worked your *** off the last couple months and you finally got the car running well, you are a hardcore racer. I
know you were bummed out about the loss, just think you wont need to race me anymore after this season

As for me, I cant believe the great season Ive had. 5 races and 5 final rounds with 4 wins plus the west coast championship.
Its kinda crazy because last season sucked so bad. I hope the good luck continues...

It was a pleasure meeting so many new people and putting faces with names.

Thanks to my sponsors for helping make this season so amazing, Im doing my best to promote your products.

Congrats Mr. Cortney Green. Scott from the Speedscene kept saying it all weekend. LOL. It was good to finally meet you and the other guys from Utah. I hope you guys are able to enjoy the video footage and photos that I have from the event. If you can, you should bring all those Utah cars to E-town in October. It would be a crazy event if you guys from Utah, Tony and the texas crew, along with the east coast guys were ready to do battle in October at Englishtown.

Congrats Cort on the win

Congrats Tony on the new best

To the rest of the racers, the West Coast group, the group from the Midwest and the East coast guys, keep up the good work

Wether you all realize it or not all your hard work pays off wether you win, loose or are a victim of attrition. Every event you contibute to our industry and make it a better one. An industry I am proud to be a part of.

All of you are roll models and set the example for the next guy. Without all of you what would have to go by?

Keep it up

Regards-

Todd

Cortney green, she is my favorite racer. You deserve it for all the hard work you put in. Utah is probably one of my favorite group of racers there are. Plus I know I can go to your pit and drink all your water. I am not happy you went 1-2-1 but it makes me feel a lot better that I am not the only one that does that! haha!

Congrats for being so consistent this season!! That's a battle in itself. Are you switching classes next season or not racing at all?? If so you'll be missed. I loved watching vids of your hatch.

Congrats Cort! You deserve the championship for all your dedication and hard work on your car but all you do for your friends too. Dude, I don't know anyone else out there who would've just lent a GT42R to someone


<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by rota92 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> Cort

It was nice to meet you! I don't know how you drive your car so well, but please share it with me haha</TD></TR></TABLE>

I was thinking about this the other day actually, Cort usually runs lower trap speeds than others in the class at least at previous events. He has his car dialed in and pretty figured out! But the thing is this CRAZY **** drives that car on the street still sometimes, I think he really gets a feel for it on the street where as the rest of the class these are dedicated race cars and the only time they see the street is putting in on the trailers


Again CONGRATS Cort, it was great talking to you again and can't wait to see you at an EAST COAST EVENT if you make it!

Don't tell Nichole I said this. She'll probably read this later on and kick me in the neck, but I think you guys are her idols now. Thanks for letting us hang with you guys in the pits and throughout the weekend.

Congratulations on the win.
