I do Driver's Edge events as well at TWS and MSR-Cresson. Sounds like you did good and had fun. I'm only hitting about 140 in the SS at TWS.

Rumor has it that the race we have scheduled at TWS in April will incorporte NASCAR T3/4.

So instead of entering the front straight after snaking through Moe, Larry and Curly, there will be a huge head of steam built up after entering just before NASCAR 3. T1 will be interesting. Time to melt some brake rotors!

There have been 2 Mini rolls at TWS; one with PCA and one with TDE. The worst part about it is that the doors have this problem with flying off during a rollover. They are no longer allowed with PCA for that reason.

That pic of the car flying I've seen a GT3 do that outside of 8. he drove out to BFE and didn't slow. Got about 3 feet under the car and flew about 60-70ft before crashing to a stop. Vid is on youtube and owner says it was like 8k or something like that to fix it.

Glad to see people going out. Hopefully Mr. Ball can inspire more to attend! As Hybred said, I will be at the PDS that TWS runs since the drivetime/cost ratio far exceeds it's competitors.

Thank Mr. Ball for the name change. Seems the Helix associates are all getting a name swap.

I'm waiting for his name to change to "That guy you wish you were"

Maybe a little long though.

When is your name changing? Also, why are you never on any "chat services" I'm wanting a little a/s/l.

You and Gray buy a cheap POS car and come on out! I've been thinking of something else since my SS is always tearing something up (I drive the car normally like I hate it on track).
