Not, until you can run faster than 13.070 Stock, LOL! I'm doing my best to help motivate you into the 12s. I'm pretty certain that you'll make it there before I do.

Motivated? Let's see, I work 10 hour days for an electric utility company and do a lot of physical work. I spent 30 minutes when I was as tired as a dog to remove the CAI with the sole purpose of beating YOUR 1/4 time as a bone stocker. I got you, but you got me back.

I said to myself when I saw the 13.116 on the timeslip, "lets see bracketracer write a letter about THIS to HPP magazine." So yea, I'm gunning for you. The contest (good natured) to be continued..............

By the way, no timeslips allowed by skinny drivers driving our cars. In other words, no drivers allowed that are in dire need of a ribeye steak, while us big ole boys are in dire need of nutrisystem.

OLD GOAT, you are making this alot of fun. We have to meet in person one of these days! If it can be with both of our cars it would be even better! OLD GOAT ROCKS! I'm not working the long physical days that you are, but I am putting in 55-60 hour weeks at 2 jobs (gotta make that GXP payment somehow, LOL!). You always have to find time for your hobbies though!

By the way, I assure you that I was driving my car to the 13.070 run. I did not cheat and break out the "skinny-guy-mod" LOL! We are just making the GXPs that much more impressive when they can run times like this with us behind the wheel! Take care, and continued success to you!

Joe, outside of the fact you are borderline OCD about M6 vs. A6 you seem to be an OK guy.

As a matter of fact I am behind you 110% to get your best times, and no, I never thought you would break out your bulimic or anorexic driver mod.

Do you know what the high point is of a bulimics party? That's when the cake jumps out of girl.




however I am behind myself 111%

What do you mean borderline ?

I am having fun with the A6 vs. M6 debate, even though I'm battling from behind. I have nothing but respect for those A6 drivers, like you, who have either run 12s, or nearly have. There aren't many, and you are obviously driving extremely well. I get very aggrivated with parties (who shall remain nameless) who haven't done anything themselves, but still talk a big talk. Some of them are jumping to conclusions that I'm sure you would even agree are way off of reality. I just want to see alot more GXP drivers in general get to the track and enjoy their cars. If they do, they will see that it's not nearly as easy as they assume it is to run well in any GXP.

I think I'll be staying away from the bulimic parties, thank you very much.

I also wish you continued success, and am enjoying the rivalry and motivation quite a bit! Thank you very much and all the best!
