I think we can manage without him.

I dunno where he is either, but I'm itchin' to use these new emoticons. Last I spoke to him (yesterday afternoon) he was heading back up to Novato. He was in redwood city. Coming back from Fontana.

My truck broke down coming back from LA in a podunk town called King City (Hope I don't offend anyone here) This place rivals Los Banos in excitement level. At least it's not named after a toilet, huh? Anyway, my transmission is shot, as well as the radiator. King City has claimed my chebby truck until friday. They've also claimed my $2.8K. That's money that was going towards the teener...

I was saving that for the next big fight over mathmatics... but I couldn't resist a little levity.

Man, I'm starving. I shouldn't have skipped lunch.

Well, this is the quote from a chevy dealership. They are giving (ha!) me a new tranny with 3 year 50,000mile warranty. This is more reliable than them taking apart my tranny and finding out what's wrong, and it'll probably cost around as much (with labor and all) This also includes a new radiator. I know they're bending me over. but they're a dealership, so at least I know the warranty will be honored at any chevy dealer. Other option was to take it to a gas station mechanic. I opted against that because:

1. They'd know I was stranded and fucked and charge me even more than the dealer.

2. They'd probably have to order parts and it'll take longer.

3. Warranty??

Racing was GREAT.

Total Newbie team to PRO racing.. and we lead 3/4 of the race.

We finished second in our class.

I'll do a write up on it tomorrow after I recover.

Congrats...

Go have a beer, and make nice to the family! We'll be here tomorrow - we didn't burn the place down yet.

You guys got good air time too!
I thought the name "Blake" sounded familiar. Good Job!

The announce team said it was your team's first Grand Am outing and they were impressed.

I have had people calling me all day yesterday and all day today.. saying they saw us on TV and that we received good coverage... because the rest of the race was boring...LOL


I wondered if they got me on TV... I did the fueling on the car (3 times) Black Simpson fire suit and white helmet.

I don't recall seeing your car fueling.
They showed Boris, 2 Brumos cars and Leitzinger's car fueling, that was about all I remember.

Lawrence, you can't fool me ... I know you really like math. BTW, my http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0486612260/qid=1055282706/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/702-8619165-5820820 book arrived today and it even has a proof for Fubini's Theorem! Woo hoo!

Alfred, If you get that excited about a math book, I hope you have one of those keyboard protectors.
