Met up with Tom, and immidiately, he grabs my RENNtech airbox. NOTE: I DID NOT RUN MY CAR THIS TIME. Next month I plan on taking again.

Bini cakep? Tentu donks!

As for me not taking the car on the track... well, on the way to the track, there were some things that made me uncomfortable about the car. I just didn't have a good feeling since #1, I have yet to get my new tires on... and I am still riding on defected Michelin's. #2 I am not comfortable with my current brakes (rotors/pads), and I am going to upgrade them to a big brake kit. Maybe next month I will give it a shot, since we have two more races left (July and August).

Does Tom live in Texas now? I used to hang out with him sometimes when I was in FLorida. His car looks at home on the track!

[Ozzie Bob]

For the amount of money I paid for the camera and accessories, I want to put it too use! This camera is awesome. I hope I don't have to buy another one for a while.

Hell, be my luck, and they will come out with a 10 Mega Pixel in the next 6 months. Now that would suck... for me that is :D

[Subman]

Long time no see everyone, (sorry I have been very buisy)

AMG124 very nice pics man Ill have to get the rest from you soon.

Driving on a track is so fun, it gives you so much respect for race cars and drivers. Racing is so much different then driving on the street. You realy can not get a full grasp of the differences unless you take a car on the track. I will go into more detail about how my car did and the differences in street and track driving (that is if anyone wants me to talk about it) if not then I will do a page on my site.

Later

Tom
