George and I hooked up with Elon.
My Porsche won't be ready on time for September, maybe December though.

Their cars are usually prepped well. Even if Kevin is a total tool. Should be fun!

Looks like from the pit assignments that were on opposite ends.
Were number 14.
Two other members are racing that I know of.
Seabird (Miguel) is with the Mad Motorsports crew. Pit #23
ablesnead (Lorin) is with Team Casual, I think. They usually run a Miata, but the list shows a RX-7? He's in Pit#44
STAY HYDRATED!

Cool, Joe! I didn't know you were going. Looking forward to seeing TC and Miguel as well. Shane and I are excited to drive a car we don't have to work on.
Last time I drove a beemer it was fun. Randy Pobst drove the car last year and was consistently in the 2:40 range, with a couple laps in the 2:39. Wonder how close any of us will get.

Hey George, it was kinda last minute. SLS needed a third driver and the price is right so I'm in! Anyone been to the cattleman club lately?

What a bummer of a weekend. Our car only did 2 laps and finished in dead last after a radiator hose popped off, toasting the head. However, it was fun watching TC and Joe, both of whose cars did really well. As they say, 'That's racin.'

That's what I thought, someone must have been having a bad couple laps when I saw it out there. I was running 2.48, 2.50s in a miata 1
8.

The other thing was we were having Tire problems on the car so I know the guy before me was having issues. When I got in they put new tire in front, which upset the balance making the rear very loose. One Lap I would be very good, the next with a couple of marbles or a drop of fluid off a car in front and the car would be all over the place.
We were told that the Tranny was the weak link, so in my case I was short shifting a bunch to make sure the car made it thru my stint. The guy after me had the same tire issues and he complained that the brakes were soft.
