Damn John you are getting down there. I work in the evenings so you will not see me at the track. Plus, I think my track days are over.

Way to go John!

FYI...we would have had a really good race at CD02 had you gone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I only made one pass (quite busy running the program), but it was a good one....11.99 @ 112.5 mph w/1.66 60 ft on DR's. It was 87F, DP was 75F, and baro was 29.34 giving a DA of +2826. Twas rather happy with the pass given the weather conditions. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Will catch you at MIR one of these days this fall! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
