Thumbs up

Most Excellent!!

But I'm not surprised. I've stopped being surprised by your driving accomplishments in underdog cars. We need to rob a bank soon w/ you as the wheel man and get you a new GT-3 RSR.

Hey thanks Buddy!

Geez, some of you guys who are my close friends are bumming me out though. Hans came in today, and when I told him, he just shrugged and said, "I wouldn't expect anything less". Hey, don't do that to me! This is a big deal for me. Stop stealing my thunder! Don't turn me into an overdog!

Tyson, that is fantastic. I know the bond will be complete when you start setting POC records too! Can't wait to see the new legs that Scrappy gets. Evil Grouppe, Huh! That sounds like something I would like to join. I don't know if I have the "skeels" behind the wheel though.

Nice job!
It's hard to explain to some that it takes much more than horsepower to win these type events.

So what exactly IS the Evil Groupe?

Is there an echo? (Jamie, you can go back and delete the 2 extra posts)


Rarly, if I have to explain "Evil" to you, then you wouldn't understand.

Thank you Steve!


And thanks for the chip! It feels much much better! I'm loving the throttle response, and driveability.

Awesome Tyson! I'm sure this will be the first of many kills

Does this mean the co-driver position for BBII is now open?

Jeez Tyson-If Scrappy's first kills include a lineup like that-where do you go from there? Great job.

Jeez, I don't know. I was planning on putting in the 2.5 when I get it back, and Vintage Racing it. But the 3.2 is mighty addicting.

I'm also debating whether or not the put RS flares on it. My next step is Elephant Racing suspension pieces, and some race tires for my new 15X7 Fuchs. I guess I'll run it that way for awhile, then decide.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I really appreciate it!

Tyson, cangrats on TTOD, good to see Scrappy has completely accepted you as her new guardian. Sounds like this was a fun event. I really want to get started in doing some AutoX's. Good luck on the next event.
