This weekend is no good, but I'll definately shoot you a PM.

Are you gonna be able to attend the TMS Laps? Or your beat start later?

I guess it helps when you put all the words in the post. It should say I'm OFF on Thurs, Fri and Saturday now. I will be at the Laps for Charity since being off on Saturday makes it that much easier now. My brain works faster than my fingers can type.

Gotcha.

So much for getting to my car to wash and tidy up, but dang, did we need the rain! I'm sure I'll have plenty of time beforehand on Saturday.

The rain was great! It was super slow at work since it was raining. You got plenty of time to wash the car so hurry up and do mine too!

Talking Falchion, who?

Holy Cow! I thought you got abducted by aliens or shipped to the non existent Area 51 or something. Glad to see you're back though.

Yeegads! He's back!

I'm doing well. I've moved up to Sherman now, though. I'm still lagging behind you and Tread though in mods...as I haven't done any!

Come join us for the Laps for Charity! This Saturday! Sonic at I-35W & Basswood. Be there before 5pm, then we'll all drive to the Texas Motor Speedway.

Thanks for the invite, but I gotta work this weekend since things have been unstable at work lately.

In fact, I'm looking for a new job, going to a job fair on Monday, but that would be up in Kansas. Yuck! I'd rather stay around here....

It's a place called Spirit Aero, which used to be Boeing located in Witicha, Ks. I'm not exactly thrilled about it, I'd rather find something local since I have a house here. But, it looks like my last day at Lockheed is going to be Oct. 23rd unless something changes.........

Yeah, I hope so too Tread. There are some things opening up since Boeing is selling a lot of those 787 Airliners, and some of the components are built around here.....

Good luck Falchion.

Ghost, it was great to see you and the family again. I meant to ask if you put that new moleskin yet?

Pegasusphototx, it was nice to meet you and your family too! I love what you've done to your stang.

Good to see you again too, Tread. Great to meet Pegasus and family as well. His daughter's name owns!

No, I hadn't put on the moleskin yet, but I need to. The rest of the felt is starting to peel now...just on the driver's side. Passenger side is fine.

I had fun at the TMS. Unfortunately, I was in the second group and it was slow...or felt slow. I think the average speed was around 75-80mph...I topped out a little over 90mph on one burst. For some reason, during the 2nd lap at turn 3/4, we all slowed down to 20mph. That kinda killed the whole pace for the rest of the laps.

Here's a photostich of all the cars when we took the group shot. Warning, 23MB jpg...best to right-click, save as:
http://myweb.cableone.net/duanp/Images/AllCars.jpg


And...wow.. Just read all 22 pages of the Granatelli thread. After seeing it in Peg's car, reading that...it seems great! What are you paying for the Satin? How much more it the polished? Are you getting the TB, too? Did Peg have the TB?

Was great to meet so many enthusiast and going in group 1 was a blast, I got up to 110 on the back straight, and 90 in turn 1.

(refrains from mentioning that it was his girlfriend and her daughter with him ;-)

I may have to make it out to the Sonic on a Tuesday night coming up soon. Guess I'll have to follow DFWStangs.net a little closer as BMC doesn't seem to have much involvment other than online.
