Great Day. Was a lot of fun. Got my runs from 1:50 down to 1:35.9. Like the new tires. Car is very nice at the limit.

Hell of a time, glad to see everyone out there. Zach, not a biggie, just email them to me or post them up so I can snatch em and put em on my blog

I found out the limits of street tires, so looks like I need to get one of those garden water hose thingys. Interesting... Good times. Anyways, good to see everyone out there.

No problem. He defaults to having a black border around the numbers but I requested not to have it considering I have a black car and don't need the borders.

Well I am lucky that the card didnt get ruined... accidently went into the wash with my jeans from yesterday... Here are the shots I took of the car before I left and the one you took in the rain.
