Default Things I learned at VIR

-my car is destined to break EVERY weekend
-your heart CAN pound with anticipation if you're not in the car, as long as you're watching Alex try to catch Corey
-you have to tell Drew everything twice (inlcuding introducing yourself) when he's been drinking
-pulling off the road to avoid a tailgating cop only makes them wait for you a mile down the road
-waking up 2 hours before you qualify with a hangover doesn't feel very good
-Willard is funny as ****
-golf carts and beer don't mix... or do they?
-lightening CAN strike twice
-350Z is a fast ******* car
-it's hard to drive and look at Playboy at the same time
-a 944 transmission can be changed in 2 hours at the track
-life is good

Did you loose a trans as well, or are you refering to Zalner's car (was that you doing the wrenching)?

I blew a rod bearing (I think) but I was talking about Zalner's car. The guy doing the wrenching is someone that Brian asked to come to track with him in case things like that happen. I'm not sure what the terms of the relationship are but that guy that was doing the wrenching is awesome. He can tell you what's wrong with your car in like 42 seconds flat.

"A for effort" on the cops part because he followed us for about 10 miles. He finally turned off when he saw that we weren't speeding or weaving.

What was up with the cow outfit on Sunday morning? I drove by headed out with Novice during our first session and I look over and all I see is black spots and a huge udder! My instructor and I had a good laugh!

Bessie has, apparently, replaced Racer Dog as the NASA mascot although I think that Racer Cow doesn't have the same ring. Based upon Bessie's leanings, she may best be charactized as the Honda Challenge Mascot.

I can just hear Teague (NASA announcer) now uddering (get it, "unddering"), "Bessie Manzella is closing fast, but Bookler has no intention of moooooooving over".

Man, I love you guys.
