i give it 5 events................. 8)


Oh don't worry. Tribute might not be the right word :lol:

Your right, you never hit that many cones at one time - They don't have cones on road courses - Oh wait you didn't drive your car on those either. I've actually never seen you drive the Vette, I think the only proof it ever got going was when someone else drove it for you.....


I have seen Remchak autocross his Z06, I wish I hadn't....

Well, I had a great day. :thumbsup:
I didn't make a total fool out of myself. :?

I'm sure I'll have fun this year trying to improve my driving skills. It was quite different than the MINI.
No clutch, no transmission. Real easy to left foot brake.
I wished I could see the car from the outside. It felt great in the slalom, but touchy in the hard braking area. I think the regenerative braking is coming into play.

And to Andrew, thanks for egging me on. That really made me push myself on the last run. I learned my lesson about doing that a few years ago... don't! I got bumped out of 1st place against Marcus. :roll:

Rodney and the other mustangs...I gunning for you! :lol:
HS PAX!

And to all the comparison jokes got beat by a Leaf...
I'll take that as a compliment.


What really impressed me was that when I caught up with you on NC 57 a few miles east of Hyco Lake, I didn't have an uncontrollable urge to blow by you. You were moving along at a perfectly respectable clip!

That said, your car is ugly. And this the good side ....

If Chris put a Ford badge on the car, would that make it look better Art?

BTW, great comparison pic.... :lol:

Just remember, you can live in your car, but you can't race your house.

AX threads normally bore me, sounds like Charlie Browns teacher to me. This one on the other hand, is entertaining. I'll be glad when those Leafs, or would that be Leaves? can be had for $500 would make a great Lemons theme.

It actually looks better in person than in pictures. But you can see the family resemblence

I agree with this as well. Chris was very nice to talk with and answer questions while I was doing tech Sunday. I got a chuckle out of the fact that under the hood one of the covers of perhaps(?) a controller for the leaf on top has the shame shape and characteristics of a 3 cyl valve cover :lol:

bite me. you are short and your mother dresses you funny.

i ran the entire 2006 season in ASP and finished second to Plank. granted most of the time it was just him and me, but that doesn't change the fact that you are short. i always thought short guys made better race car drivers. oh, no sorry. you're right, Kendt is a better Jockey than you Rob. by the way, my lawn art statue is starting to decay. may i use your likeness for the replacement?

where is my Dash-Plaque smartass?


Address? I wonder if I can send the door prize through the US Mail?
