Default Oh, just ask away.

Default I saw that! That looked like SO much fun! How did you do in last

night's race? Place first, I hope? OH, BTW, I was going to tell you this a few days ago but got caught up in packing... I saw three Lambo Diablos
in Valencia, all at the Mall! I think they were
doing a shoot with them at the Santa Clarita Studios, but it was so cool to park next to them in the valet area! I did like the fact that people came to look at MY car too! Heehee!

Default Last nights race and other musings...

Well, I couldn't do a repeat of the race 2 weeks ago, so I placed second. It was my first race on an as-yet untested wheel/tire combo, so I was getting used to them throughout the night.

Yes, I know about those photo shoot things with the Lambos, I've done a few also.
Also, I've had a TT on the showroom with Lambos, Ferraris etc... and it holds its own just fine in the gawk awards.<p>Jason Dale

Default I'm sorry you got second, but that's still not bad! What was up with the tires?

New tire/wheel combo? Size difficulties or just
handling adjustments? What time did you finally
get to sleep this morning?

Default Well, let's see if I can really bore you here.

Since I've raced this car(4 years), I've always run drag slicks at the track. This is kind of a pain in the *** since I have to put them on when I get there among the other things that I have to do to get ready for racing. I finally got a good sponsor a few weeks ago and they told me that they would buy me any wheel/tire combo that I wanted. I decided to go with a DOT legal street slick, meaning same tire compund as my slicks, just with a rudimentary tread pattern. Therefore i could just run them on the street as well.
The downside here is that they don't bit nearly as hard as my slicks, so when I would normally launch off the line at about 4000RPM, I had to get down to about 2600. This was the learning curve that I was dealing with on Friday.
Anyway, I got to sleep around 2am after reading a bit just so I could get up at 6am to go hangliding. And yourself?<p>Jason Dale
