Default Thanks

My Story isn't as exciting as others.. but I just want to put out a huge thanks to James Innes @ IPG for getting me to the Outlaw race and friends @ RLZ Engineering for driving up to help me out. I started the year going pretty well with a 9.30 on relatively low boost and tried to make many attempts testing throughout the rest of the summer but got shut down on 5 occassions due to rain. So Howard (Airshifter) and friends Chad and Jordan drove all the way up from N.C to give me a hand and attempt to get the car dialed in. We went down to E-Town Friday testing, unknowing what the car could do, we made some pretty decent passes friday night during testing. The car cut some pretty decent incrementals up to the 1/8th, But come to find out the turbo was on its last leg. It wasn't an easy decision to run the race or not.. But i said F * * * it .. we're already here.. lets just make the best of what we have power wise. A few people told me to stop stand bagging and let her loose .. I just smirked, already knowing that the turbo isn't making the power in the other half of the track. In qualifying the car went 9.46@133 letting off in 4th.. the car needed a fresh set of plugs. 2nd qualifier it went 9.33 @154.. 1st round eliminations .. it went 9.60 - the tranny wouldn't take a 3-4 shift and got hung up against Keller(Congrats on the new PB btw) it wouldve been a good run, if i had some power and if the tranny took the shift. Without a doubt i'll be back, hopefully ALOT stronger... (thats if i don't get the ulitmatum from the gf)


Again .. Just wanted to Thank
James @ IPG
Howard, Brad, Chad and Jordan @ RLZ Engineering.. you guys rule.. see you next month ..
Everyone involved with making this event happen.
Also.. it was good to meet some new people .. Pepsi, Caesar.. and talk to some old friends..

glad you made it out garry i was suprised you never made a deposit early on hearing how good you were running early in the season. regardless though you made it.

btw if you take the ultimatum racing has to be the compromise. thats when you know you got a winner.

i have to give it to Mr.Eng. He has some crazy luck and it hasn't been the best of luck. I must say he has quite the determination to get this car going.I think it needed some NC help lol. All props to Garry for racing and not caring what it was running. not many can say they have ran in the outlaw race. And we gave it all and done the best we could. In the end thats all that matters.
Thanks Garry

JT

Gary, you are good inspiration to people who have very small budget and race against big dogs. Your car is beautiful and well put together. Stay in it for CT racers.

Good job all weekend
