Still without power, eh? I got a day off work today for that reason. Bad news is that it's back up and it's business as usual tomorrow.

T-boy,
Won't even get started on gags and such. I have a wholesome image to maintain.

My in-laws got power back this morning, I hope to return from work to a quiet house.

Well, another great RX-8 showing at the autocross today. It was also was pretty cool that all the rookie drivers were within a second of each other. I couldn't in good conscious (edit: the sun got to me... the word is "conscience") take your beer for that bet, though, chico. I have a bit more races under my belt and nothing is better for an autocrosser than seat time. What would be cool is if all the other guys had a rookie championship or something. Winner buys of course

But if you want to bring some beer this Saturday just for the hulluvit I'll certainly help drink it!

It was good to meet terretsboy's girlfriend. I'm sure we all suspected she was just a figment of his imagination. So how did "Derby Dame" like it? I mean besides the fun of watching you get yelled at by the safety marshall.

How was the ride home starsky? Did your brother rub it in? Did he end up walking home?

Yea........... Starsky1231 ..I am sure it wasn't pretty. When he found out he beat you all we could see was teeth. Redemption is in a couple of weeks at the next autocross. By the way Fisherdn redemption is in a couple of weeks for you too. We will see if the new tires make a difference. Hey teretsboy "derby dame" was cool. Let her drive or ride with you at least once. Also how did you like the short shifter? Was it better?

Molly loved it, she wanted to get some sun and boy did she. I don't know about her riding with me, she can be a bit squemish and I don't need someone screaming the whole time, that could get distracting. I will try to get her down for another autocross, but she is really busy working over in Ohio. I told you she wasn't a figment of my imagination.

The short shifter kicked ***, definitely makes a difference b/c your rpms don't have a chance to start winding down between gears.

I won't be able to make it this weekend, but I might the weekend after that. I really want to get this sub box built before I head back to school around the 18th. Does anyone know where I can get carpeting that matches the trunk?

I know it sounds ghetto or ricey... but I painted the grey carpet on my box black with high-heat spray paint. Worked great!

I noticed that I still had it once I got home. Sorry. I just like to keep a piece of you with me at all times. Last time is was the sticker and this time its the tire gauge. Watch out because my cleptomania is escalating. You might be missing a RB intake next autocross.

When is the next autocross anyway?

Man...with my luck, I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to make it out to another autocross event. This weekend I was busy cleaning up tree limbs from the storm...fun stuff.

Hey Baseballgenius80 .....You will have to try and make the next one. Maybe you could camp out at Gateway Saturday night or something.
