Don't forget to relax your hands (and the rest of you) a bit when you're on straights. It'll help minimize sweating a bit on hot days with a lot of driving time. Being tense for 20 minutes straight isn't really good for you and you'll find yourself less worn out at the end of a day if you force yourself to relax when you're alone on straights.
Glad you two are having a lot of fun with NASA.

Tom drove really well and seemed to enjoy it.
I've been signed off for Group 3 at Beaverun and am working on 3 at MidOH. (Passing whole course except braking zone) The autocross experience helped alot. I just need to get the ***** to carry deeper at the ends of the straights.
I rode with 2 different group 3s in 2 different cars. It was excellent experience to see how hard and deep they go. A little unsettling with the passing in the turns too. That'll take some getting used to. (Even bigger *****!)
Had fun playing a little greyhound-rabbit chasing Optical TDI around the course. We were pretty close in ability, but he's a little faster than I am. Interesting to see him faster in some parts, and me faster in others on the course. Tried to learn from each other. Good guy!

No. I may be going to the one on the 24th or 25th but that's iffy. My last event is Aug 1st/2nd. After that the car will get sold if I can find someone who wants it all or the reversion to stock begins.

TJ, what's going on with your springs? Do you still want me to put them on this Saturday, or are you going to wait/return them? I asked a few days ago but never got a response.
Let me know.

No more driving in North Royalton for you lol. They've always been a very stuck up area as far as their patrolling goes. I'm not so surprised, just curious... how many warnings?

You guys are brutal right now.
I love it.
But srsly man, after two warnings I think I would have fixed it before I got a ticket. They do keep those warnings on file you know. I'm actually surprised they gave you more than one. Typically if you get more than one warning within (1) year the next one is a ticket.

Fortunately no, kinda
I have gotten warnings before, both verbal and written. If you get a written warning it says right on the warning something along the lines of "If same offense is committed within one year of this warning blah blah blah you get a ticket"
Obviously it is up to the cops discression, which is why I am assuming he was pulled over and warned so many times that they figured it was just time to give him a ticket and hurt him in the wallet.

That's the downside for having a fairly unique car. Hell, you think being recognized by the fuzz is bad? Try being recognized by the local criminal element.
Also, sorry for being away for so long. This upcoming wedding stuff is killing me.

alright guys let me explain the story, and no i havent fixed it yet and im fighting it.
i got pulled over a week after owning the car by highway patrol for it and they told me that they wont mess with people if they have the plate in the window and that most judges are cool with it too but it isnt legal though. so i did that, and north royalton pulled me over for it four times (including yesterday) but he said last night that only one was on file so he thought it was the second time only, hence the ticket this time.
and jon i dont think im getting the aem anymore, depending on if the springs sell and negotiations with the parents i may leave the intake stock and get the midpipe john just put on his car.
