Come on if they are lucky the STU RX8s might keep up with BSL. If you look at the performance of them this year only one of them can keep up with STS forget about the StiEvos. I have to wonder how badly setup the rest of STU RX8s are to make them go so slow compared to the TRX8 car.

Now that was some good smack! I can't beat that so I'll let the results talk for themselves. Now what those results will say who knows

I might just have to put a hitch on the RX8 and tow my shifter kart up to that.

I wished I lived closer to you guys to get that level of competition. instead, I just pretend I beat you at every event so when Nats comes... it'll be a fact that I did.

Ok.. that came out horrible, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

We'll just have to wait 4 more weeks, to find out who's faster than who, on asphalt, in the rain....

Sush you vile woman. NO RAIN. It's been 3 years in a row (maybe 4) that it's rained at nationals.

No more!

You seem to be OK on V710s in the pouring rain.

I proved at Devens '06, DC Pro '06 and Toledo '05 that I on the other hand suck in the rain regardless of tires.

Wont be me.... I don't care enough to spend $1200 on Hooiser rains. I will be happy to sit in the car and watch everyone else get wet changing tires.

you know, the jacket self destructs after a year

The real question is not Nationals, but if Goeke will actually sign up for the Pro Finale? I like the idea of a 5 way winner take all event. Looking forward to hopefully doing well at both events. - AB

I would say with equal weather if STU was within 1 sec of BS per day they would be on pace this year. I would expect if STU becomes a natl class and more serious cars like TRX8's get built you will see them heads up next year.

With car #1, looks like you're going to be the first one out the gate in B Stock. So get out there & set the top time of the class, will you?

That is just a temp number while I figure out which car I'll be driving, if any. I might be looking for a b-stock ride from one of the guys that's already taking their car out there.... who knows, I may even put my name on the list for the TeamRX8 co-drive.

Thanks for the pep talk though

You're right Keith - that was pretty pathetic.

Exactly my point. I don't have a chance in hell of leading AT ALL this year.

There's some self-abusive smack talk for you. What are you looking at? I am kicking my a$$.

All I can say is that if any of you lose to me, you suck. I am basically the autocross version of the Mendoza line, but only worse.
