Default I just know Mike Hood pulled out before me (he's a smart guy!)

Don't know about Steve, Larry & Mathew,...

I think Steve's got a reliable setup, but the other 2 I don't know. I think it was Larry that had an Autronics EMS,... I'll be super surprised and interested if he gets it going to a steady dependable state! I don't know about Mathew though,... his setup looks dependable too!

Good luck to them,... I'll cheer them on!

Default If you smashed this A4, I think I'd be happy,...

So damn frustrated!!! But make sure you spin out at 160km/hr on snow covered highways. You have do x2 360 degree spins @ 160km/hr to top your last performance,...

Am I really still alive??? Hehe,... a broken windshield was the only result. I still can't believe it in hindsight!!!

Thanks for the laughs,

Steve

Default Thanks for the welcome,...

I think I will stop by NYC sometime. I might have a few job interviews sometime soon in NYC, so I'll definately meet up with you guys if that's the case! I'm a finance geek.

Cheers!,

Default Thanks for the encouragement,... 11's will be met

Do you golf? I just bought a new putter and the brand name made me laugh - "never compromise." I set out my goal and I WILL do it. Just a matter of when,...

Thanks!,

Steve

Default honestly i hate golf... I prefer something a bit more active. I understand the sport requires

skill and finesse, but it just isn't for me. I prefer something more active =)...

You and mike should have one of the fastest A4's built to date... it'll be a good shootout to see who hits 11's first.

Default I think it also comes down to the point that the event is not turning out like it sounded

like it would be. I also think they pushed the limit on how long you can wait to tell the list of people they made it in to the event.

I dropped out because there was no way I was going to spend all that money to get to the event with a car that was going to have zero track time on it.

Default Hehe,...

I like golf, but I LOVE to ski & play tennis. I like b-ball too, but that's how I got my pinky fractured in 3 places (it's not fully healed yet).

Golf can be violent! That's why it's fun,... stress relief. Me and CMC (Chris Chen) have the same philosophy on golf,... "so when do we eat???" Hehe,...

BACK ON TOPIC,... don't forget about Lucas! He wiped out my 12.62 @ 115.32 w/ 12.58 @ 112mph. I'm still making more power! Mike needs to get his car together and just run the damn car! Hehe,... I've been talking crap about when my car was supposed to be done,... but he's been doing it at least as long as I have! =P

Cheers! (And it's good to be active)

No skiing, tennis, b-ball for 5 years (but golf) EQUALS 35 pounds gained!!! =( That's the best mod for weight savings!!!
