Eric, To quote a great movie "Welcome to Hell, Preacher" - anyone remember the movie?
I ran my first race for 2011 last w/e - the ole General Li is still kicking albeit slower than before. First session out, I kept a friend's Civic behind me although he out qualified me by .007!!! In the afternoon race, we were close but he missed a downshift and I just motored on by... Sunday's "main event" was amusing - let's just say that 9 months later, I still remember how to take full advantage on the starts...too bad the car is such a friggin' slug... I'll do a write-up - I promise, just have to live thru the LeMons race at Summit Point, working with the Penalty Box (insert evil laugh here...)
