First and foremost: the dash plaque for the event, "Brokeback Autocross", was simply a masterpiece. We've had some great dash plaques over the years, but this is one of those rare ones that keeps getting better the more you look at it. All the elements are really perfect:

Concept: 10/10
Layout/composition: 10/10
Photoshopping: 10/10

Great job! BTW Michael (or whoever has it), please send a softcopy to webmaster@thscc.com for the results page. Recommend you also send one to atlarge@thscc.com for the Christmas party... :-)

As if that wasn't good enough, Michael had a great drive in a tough Street Mod class, finishing 2nd by a narrow margin to Chris Lanier. I don't have a copy in front of me, but you must've been right near the top of the raw results as well.

Again, congrats!

Thanks you... I'm flattered.

I drove the Prelude as hard as it's ever been driven today... and enjoyed trading blows with Chris Lanier.

oh, and I don't mind posting this one up for those that missed it.

I would also like to thank Vincent and Ryan for taking it so well. My wife told me that I deserve whatever they dish out.

Also, I would also like to thank my partner in crime Jonbo as well as the rest of the setup crew... (Stephen, Vincent, Ryan, and Jen)

Mike does do some awesome work, but guess what? He doesn't use Photoshop. He uses...and get this...MS Paint! All the work you have seen from him (including my famous Mark Cooper spoof) was done with this POS program...one pixel at a time. :shock: Good job Mike, but remember revenge will be ours!

Mike lost SM to Chris by scant 0.02 seconds. Now that's close! Great job of driving man. Chris Lanier deserves credit as well putting the winning time down when he was under pressure.

Great course by Jonbo and Mike also. I didn't hear anyone complain...not even Walter! Now *that* is an accomplishment to be proud of.

That was true... until this magnet. I broke out photoshop and I am starting to get the hang of it.

My only complaint was getting "mooned" by Vincent at the starting line!
That dash plaque is priceless. I laugh everytime look at it. Mike did a great job.
The SM class has some great friendly competition and that makes it a lot of fun. It's nice to see different people doing well. Both Chris and Mike were in the top 10 raw times. It is especially nice to see Mike beat his brother. The rumor is that both Mike and Steve are getting new R compound tires before Sanford.

What? You know that's the most a** you've seen in a long time old man! :lol:

I don't know about Mike, but I'm pretty sure Stephen will have new V710s by then. Just think Walter, they've been beating you on their old tires. Just imagine them with new ones. :P :wink:

That has to be the funniest and most imaginative one I've seen to date. Great job Michael!

I'd like to offer you my condolences also. Between now and the Xmas Party you are a marked man and the payback is gonna be a bi$^&ch!!! :lol:
