Well had a nice time out at the track last weekend save for truck alternator taking a shit on us 5 miles from the track on the way home to Fremont making for a long long trip home [Mad]

I tried to get around and inroduce myself to everyone i could sorry Notch1320 i don't think i ever got to officially say hello unless i did and forgot your name [Frown] .

Funny thing is one of the 1st guys i spoke to and didn't even know was Ryan "Toaster" Jones [Razz]

He and his crew chief were very kool guys and let us pick their brains for a while and learned a bunch.

Also was able to meet JayL and the Team Temporary crew as they were pitted next to Norman Chang who we got to chat with as well and again everyone was nice enought to shoot the shit while getting ready in between rounds and again tried to soak up as much info as possible for what we are building as to what really does and does not work and boy do we have a steep learning curve lol!

Really wish we had the time to meet and chat with Roger Holder and his team as they have their program locked down it seems and his car is VERY IMRPESSIVE to say the least hopefully we can see them again in one of the upcoming races later this year.

Anyway i'll post up vids when i have them loaded and a few pics for now:

Norman Chang's Twin 88mm Foxbody [worship]

A few pics of Ryan "Toaster" Jones' ride (i know it's a Chevy but can't deny it's performance on such a little set of tires)! [burnout]

Glad to hear you made it out.

The car we were supposed to take wasn't quite ready, so I went in support of another local racer just doing some testing on a new combo in the L10.5 class. He went out first round with a red light, and we rolled home shortly after that.

Hope to meet you next time.
