Are you sure? ;)

Actually, it refers to a guy in my local PCA group. I really didn't give it much thought at my last DE day, but he found it annoying that I came out and spanked his 2004 with my 1978. And I'm not one to turn down a chance to salt a wound. For this weekends DE, I had a special license plate made that says "Faster than Jim". He'll get to read it several times. :D

Not everyone in the south has their head up NASCARs butt! My biggest challenge so far is trying to master turn 14 (116 deg, 57' rad). I keep exiting like a drift-o-riffic ricer. :rolleyes:

LOL! I'm sure he'll love seeing that plate. :D

Unfortunately, he got moved up a group. I'll have to wait until I make the next group so that I can start hounding him again.

In other news, the C6 Z06 is pretty damn fast. A guy showed up with his, and explained that he had just purchased it for these type events. He had never been on a track, had only a couple thousand miles on the car, and acted like he had the intelligence of an ant. Well, he smoked me like cheap oil on hot headers.

I spoke to his instructor later, who said, "There were several times I just knew he was going into the wall... but that damn car just wouldn't let him."
