She's just the tire changer :D

Am I the only person who noticed that Mike 1LE has number 91 and I have 19 in the afternoon session of S3?

He's gonna try and prove he can drive without a trick modern car. Woohoo. Shamu loves to eat bacon.

Place your bets at the track :thumbwink:

And interestingly enough, I'm number 90 while the soccer mom is 190. Also, there are always a multitude of white cars in S3. Coincidence? Or is the S3 crowd just not very imaginative?

And Doug(hnut), I hope that's turkey bacon....

So the last guy who signs up for the afternoon session has to co-drive Shamu in whatever class they sign up in.

Works for me. :grin:

This Event is going to be some "nuts" fun.

Registration closes Wednesday, and there are still lots of openings. Spread the word. We could really use more drivers in the afternoon.

If it's the one that tore up SPC, I think it was in a wreck a couple weeks ago, so it's probably in the shop. :dunno:

Is it the super nice black one driven by an unfamiliar guy? -- at least not familiar to me? I don't pay much attention to Camaros (because I think they're garbage) but WOW did that guy kill it that day!!! I respect the talent it must take to drive a tank like that. :)

Hoping Vivek doesn't read this!

The Camaro has no FAST "mods". It's got stock springs. It's totally S3 perfectly legal and "factory". You did springs last year for Mod. Did you put the "stock" springs back in to complement your Factory performance "package"? I know these things because I thought about buying them. I decided it wasn't "fun" enough. Alex, Nathan and I sit here wondering if you guys can "drive"? Hmmmm. Special class "I3"?

Guess we'll all have to drive Shamu to "settle" this "who's who" of FTD this Saturday.

I'm bringing lunch in case anyone needs it handed to them "twice". :rolling:

My car has the same springs as Mike's stock Mustang. So therefore my car is stock also. :read: :thought: :o

Just to be clear, the relevant rule is:
"NOTE: A Stock class car may be upgraded with factory optional parts (such as original equipment performance package springs) and stay in a Stock class only if those parts are available as an option on the same model and year of car and that car is classified in the same class."
