WTF? The guy with the Black Vette won? I guess if you push it fast enough you can win...... Even though he was reckless as hell.... Oh well atleast I beat the focus...:)

I will be there in September for sure.... Oh and the Kuhmos rocked....

3rd Me

Please note ... on a total of 4'37 and 4'40, George with his bad-@ss 330+HP V8 only lucked out and had not even 1% heads up on me ... and that only because of his last run (1'29) ... I beat him on the first three runs! :-burnout: George, watch out ... when Tony gets finished with my suspension, you won't have a chance! ;) (hey Bruce, thanks for you course in sh@t-talking from saturday :))
On a side-note, I beat up 6 other cars in total ... not sure which ones it were, but ... beat a 924 at least by 4sec on the total ...

Definitely ... and this time, my video worked ... I'll be posting my runs (2-4) as soon as I get them on the computer ... also taped two runs from Bruce and Roy, the 1'29 and 1'28 runs from the track .

Bruce, we have to have AutoX in Vielseck ... :)

Tony, when can we do something about my car acting like a ship in heavy weather in the corners??? I know a 'vert won't handle like one of them Porsches (hey, were they running on tracks?), but the way the car handles right now, there's no use in going to AutoX ... I flew out bad on my last try, trying to push the car slightly more than the first tries ...

Well I got to give you some credit... You were not afraid to push that V6 to the edge... I will say though once I am comfortable in my car and am able to push it to the edge it ain't gonna be nice :):) Hey look at it this way, at least I beat the 4 cylinder the V6 and the ZO6 (385 bone crushing HP) I need that course in BS Bruce...

Good job Garry!!! I was refering to the ZO6, like I said the fastest car does not always win. Anyone can buy a fast car but only few can drive them.

Should have seen the black Vette on his first run (could have been the training run) - he slid nicely into the gras ... somewhere between 360 and 720 before that ... barely missed the guy sitting there ... :)
