Hi John,

I really enjoyed watching you race and kick butt. The 1:33 qualifying time was very impressive. John you represented ETRSCCA very well. Some guy said he clocked Jimmy at 1:35.9 I do not think that is possible. Have not got a chance to review the video. Thanks again for your helpful advice.

exactly what I was thinking. Except I use their bumpers as brakes instead of all this 'courteous' stuff.

:D thanks James!

The Enduro Friday was my high point of the weekend..maybe not so much that I won overall... but that I actually made it 90 minutes of sheer 100% flat-out racing. My fastest lap on 41 of 58.. It had been 20 yrs since Id been in a race car that long at once. I got disorented only a couple of times.. mainly from sweat making into my eyes.. or folks crashing.

As for Jims lap times..
Id say he could for sure turn that time if he had clear track in front of him..and not have to have wave byes.. that would drive me crazy!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Funny thing about the shifter, its solid engine mounts and delrin trans mounts :shock:

That Lotus is just plain fast, I watched one lap where he got the point by, just blistered past the guy.

Ill try to upload some pics from the weekend tonight.

My best so far at Road Atlanta is a 1:36.xxx so a 1:33 is pretty smoking. I know my car has 2-3 more seconds in it around that track... I've just got to improve on myself. :oops:
