today was good fun, i was lucky enough to drive the formula car again. we had no major breakdown just a small leak, so we should be running again in the next event.

everyone did an exceptional job today.

too bad about Avery's car though. avery if you need help putting the rear end back together, i would like to help.

I had a bit of bad luck, with the differential exploding and all. LOL! But my Roll Bar equipped Miata was really fast up until the time that I broke it.

Thank goodness for spare parts! I guess I'll need to buy Cory's VLSD sooner than I thought.

Bummer about the rear diff, Avery.

Hope your car is up and running again soon.

Thanks Bill,

I never thought I'd blow up the diff with the normally aspirated 1.6L. I guess all that AutoXing takes a toll.

Happy Holidays, Avery

I missed the bad news ..Avery's diff. But yes, parts are everywhere.
<thinks to self: He drives smooth, so mine must be doomed.>

Albert did great in the Formula car.

Hey... congrats to Dexter for taking 1st, C Stock!

Could only mean one thing... You have way too much horsepower!!!! Much majalos for giving me (really I mean it) the 1st place in STS2. I must admit the track was really fun and built for a miata. Look here, C stock was won by a NB Naturally Aspirated! Go figure!! With Dexter driving!!!! Good FUN! YAY Roll Bar!!!!

Thanks Al,

I'll give everyone a call when I need the help. Or we can just eat pizza and look at Junior up on jackstands, LOL!

Happy Holidays, Avery
