.... It should be. I am up and moving. even went back to work. just sitting behind a desk, but at work. cant lift anything heavy or I feel it. but the race is still two weeks away. I will be there for sure. (I would race now, so I know I will race in 2 weeks)




Jedi, come out and take a couple laps..... it's fun..... you know you want to.

It would be fun to compare times with the 7 guys. The Absense is bringing his 7. his dad is bringing his S2000......

All you Forza2 guys, make sure you watch it. It's cool to see the real track and a guy doing it in 7:22.

I don't think I'd fit in my car with a helmet on. (which I don't own so I can't test)
I just remember riding shotgun in Erica's car for a few laps and my head resembled a pinball machine.

At one point, I almost pulled a "Night at the Roxbury". (those who have seen the movie should recall this famous scene)

I know my best times are mid 6 minute laps....don't know how that compares, but I know I would go faster on a video game than in real life given the number of lives the ring has taken.....also, Forza lap times will be more realistic when compared to Gran Tourismo given that the full track is not available in GT.....it has a short section of the course deleted, for what purpose, dunno?

SERO that I signed up for has changed. It's now $59 instead of $30. Also, you now need an refering Employee's email and ID#.
I only have the email of guy that referred me, but not his ID.
Their best thing now is unlimited everything for $99.
BTW - The custom earpiece is awesome.
