P.S. My brake lights do work, I just don't use them unless I absolutely need them!

Hey guys. You know why Mr Thomas wins all them xcrosses? HE CHEATS!! I mean it. First of all I see how he actually goes slower to go faster (you have to be there to see it) and then he does this finale thing that you just have to see. Then I watched really careful and I didn't see a taillight ever. I heard a long time ago about these guys who raced them ZR-1's and called themselves "Pirates". They had a really hot shoe for a driver and even though the SCCA made brake lights mandatory, they rigged a switch to turn them off during the race at certain times so nobody could see how he did his braking....and when. 'Caused a BIG wreck when a certain black Porch went in waaaay too hot at Sears Point and flipped his car into the barricades. He went on to blamin' them Pirates that they had no brake lights and it caused him to almost run into the back of them which was why he crashed! So them Pirates just flipped a switch and they worked perfect!

Now as far as that BBQ goes, I want to be serious for a rare occasion.

This was the best BBQ we ever had.....BECAUSE OF YOU FOLKS. I think it was the perfect size group, you guys were right on the money with your RSVP's at 65. How 'bout 'ol Marty's ribeyes??? Is he a piece of work or what? You all even floated ONE keg. What am I to do with the other one?

JUst be careful with those emblems 'cause once you stickum, they ain't comin' off! If you need another, just let me know. We had a few spares leftover.

Thanks again gang.

oh, P.s. Yes Joe Thomas won the autocross......WITH A 240 LB PASSENGER IN THE CAR!!!

P.S.S. And his '95 is ALL stock! No wonder they don't have police pursuits in Michigan!

No, you were in there for the fastest run, uh....27.31 was it? But his 27.49 with that big guy with the hat

still beat the next fastest car so technically, he coulda woulda shoulda won if you hadn't conned poor Joe into another ride or two.

Hey question there FV. How much WOULD you pay for one-a-them rides with Joe anyways? Might be some profit in there somewheres....

Hey Jim--

The BBQ was great and Marty's ribeyes were excellent! And thanks for the help on my tires. Definitly improved the vibration, although I later had a Road Force balance and they had to rotate three of the four tires on the rims, and one tire was simply "Out of spec". And there may even be something other than the tires causing some vibration, as I still had a little on the way home. A great time and I plan to be there next year, as long as you invite Marty to do the cooking!--Bob
