An open letter to the kid in the Eclipse.

...BTW, Cash, above your avatar, it says "Faster than Jim!!" Must not be me you're referring to...

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.

What's with that racetrack? It has some right turns!

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.

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

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."
