Default ATL AutoX. Congrats Neo and other stuff

Nice win Casey!

As for us DSP boys, is there any shame worse then loosing to an 88 Grand Am?

Wow. you were that close to Dedric?
--Ducking and running....

How about coming in 3rd in SM to a Big Block SVT car? Is that worse? Oh, wait. Nevermind. Actually, um, holy crap. he would have won SM outright. By more than a little...

Congrats Casey. Pretty decisive win from the score sheet.

once again nice win casey. I really wish I knew how much time I lost by not using 3rd gear but too late now. Either way you drove awesome to get that time. My runs felt absolutely perfect except for the straight with the rev limiter every time.

2nd straight event points event where my car has popped out of 2nd gear...happened in 2 of 4 runs. Going in for new 2nd gear synchros next week, but it won't be in time for Birmingham.

Not that I would have had Ryan anyway.

I finally get relatively close to Ryan and then Casey shows up.

Seriously though, nice win Casey.

Sean, your car is quick enough. Just need to get some sorting done. A few more codrives, and I'm sure we can make some progress.

-Chris, who likes to drive a car capable of winning, so shouldn't drive his own.

Chris - The car is a bit more sorted now then when you co-drove it a few events ago. The alignment was, uh, a little off. The car turns in much better now, I've got the cone count to prove it.

Gosh, guys.... thanks! Sunday's course seemed to suit me and my car quite well. Definitely felt more relaxed at the regional event than I did at the divisional two weeks earlier. Ya know, my old heavy boat of a GSR C-dan seems to be pretty speedy when those damn 4th gen Civics aren't around.

Ryan, on the way home that day I was thinking you'd have been much better off shifting, even short shifting, into 3rd gear at the end of that one straight. Depending on how long you were on the rev limiter, that probably accounted for a bunch of time.

SPiFF, at face value, losing to an '88 Grand Am does hurt a bit, but I've watched Mike and his car many times, and that thing is scary fast -- almost defies logic, if not your imagination.
