This is a bit of an inside joke, but for those of you who know Tim Aro you may want to check out:

This eBay link

Bid early, bid often. The reserve is $500, so any and all bids under that or hell, even over it, are appreciated. ;-)

I want this one bad. I figure the mojo from it is worth 1 second per run :)

Damn, Jim outbid me.

I just might have to go and do something about that...

Better bid high Jim, I might just sit here at work and snipe you.

Oh man, Jim does want it... I wonder where his max is right now, I've already run it up another "few" dollars, but I'm not top dog yet.

I normally set a personal max for these things, but I can't help myself this time...

Who is the person hosting the auction. We could turn this into a nice little charity item...

Oh, and for what it's worth, if it were an autographed *picture* I might be willing to bid much higher. I suppose if it were a slightly provocative picture someone might get accused of child pornography...

Allright, I don't have a sellers account on eBay (not yet), but someone needs to "steal" the pictures and set up a competing auction...

The bidding on this Tim Aro flag is going through the roof. Over 45 bidders and up to $70+ now. What better Xmas present could you give a loved one, than this rare item. I'm going to raise my bid again since that damn Darrin DiSimo out bid me.

Ha, I'm back on top again...

Who are the current bidders? I know many of them, but I'm not sure who they all are.

so, lets decipher this:

auction posted by:

racingrules123: ????

nambujim: ???
alitris: ???
jmrtcorp: ??? (Jim Roberts?)
18RGcelica: Scott Johnson
dswrx@yahoo.com: Tom Hoppe
baja252: Jim Pastorius
xcuzmee: Eric Peterson of course
djb_rh: Donnie Barnes
cp1303: ???
lawrenceandrews: ??? (should be obvious)
kiirenza: Karen Kraus
ddisimo: Darrin Disimo
b1mmer: Aaron Buckley (he's on vacation even)
randychase: Randy Chase of course
jorober5: Jon Roberts (a guess)

I would think that at least one participant would be Rod McGeorge...

I posted the auction under a new ID so Tim wouldn't know who it was (at least not immediately).

nambujim is Eric's Dad, Jim.
jmrtcorp is a friend of mine who doesn't live near here and doesn't race, I just conned him into bidding (and I think he's gone overboard a little)
alitris is my assistant...another con bidder
and yeah, jorober5 is Jonathan Roberts

We'll probably pull the auction tomorrow as the joke has run its course. Tim flipped out when he saw it. What he don't know is we actually have a few of those flags with BS signatures on them and at the next event (karting school in Florida in a couple weeks) we're all going to put them on the backs of our helmets. :-)

Thanks for all the bidding help! Now Eric and I just have to brace for the payback. *shudder*
