Ran Good Years with one driver.250 compound Amazing tire.Good in cold- will be great when up to temp. Shoulda covered Grants Boxter but..........

Up here we get 1 second penalty per cone. Not sure if its the same where you are. One second is a lifetime in AX ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

You and Brit have been saying that for almost three years now. Believe me I'm rooting for you but you both keep get beaten by a girl. At least I got by her on my clean runs. Lol!

Who as me, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Wait until you see my next abomination. It's sort of like Sigourney Weavers alien baby. It will likely beat an FP 914 but probably not a XP teener that has been well prepared. I will likely drag it out to Lincoln next year. ...Z you later This post has been edited by grantsfo: Nov 2 2012, 07:07 PM

I know those imaginary cones suck! Botomline I have been waiting 3 years for a 914 to beat that Boxster in national event. Hasn't happened yet. Please work harder. Tired of seeing you get beat by a girl.

Tired of seeing you get beat by a girl. Imagination... Really-First run clean- had to stand on it.Second , third, and fourth all had a cone.All raw times faster than Beth. Check with your drivers. J Like I said in post-Coned out in Blytheville. BTW Dumb Ass-Look at and post the results from this Tour-Not the Spring when we broke the gear box and drove a different car.
