And he's probably a douche laugh.gif

OUCH... Im a member over here too cool.gif . Anyway Josh I didnt make it up there to Road Atlanta cause I was up there the weekend before doing a BMWCCA event. And didnt want to thrash on her(FG wagon) any more cause I knew I had to travel down to Sebring for this event. I will try to make the next NASA one for sure. The KPAX team salvaged 13 place out of a rough weekend. Short shifting for most of the race to avoid over heating. But they got alot of data and that is a good start! By the way Jesse you and your kid are up on the KPAX site in photo section tup.gif

Ahh you went with Peachtree. I'm going to be at CMP May 1, 2, 3. You should come out. Will be with NASA SE again in HPDE3.


K-Pax didn't get to test the car before taking it to Sebring hence their issues which they will sort out. The team is very optimistic, and plans to be competitive at the next race.

Don't know yet.


When I went to the races in 2007 I picked a set and for the hell of it mounted them. They fit prefect.

Before you take it at high speeds you may want to attach that odd looking bumper and secure the fender liner. wink.gif lol

Personally I'd be worried about that first but hey, that's me.

Got a big cock? Let me see it!

Looks like I'll head there next year. smile.gif
