doesn't that hand writing look a little different like maybe someone wrote their name on the board

lol...its all good! Had to give you a hard time! Props to you for a good time. wonder how much different the tracks are from state to state. I want to say the best time we had was just under 20 with the avg of 22-23...

so what did you think of the F stuff on the IS? I really wish I could have taken my car out on the course to compare what I have done to the 350 they had done up. I was not impressed with the manual 250 they had.

Many missed out on a great time!

Still no car yet?? figured you would have turned in the little rocket by now

Haha - there were WAAAAY too many CL members there for me to pull something like that - there were at least 8 CL members that were there as witnesses...

It was funny though - the 'stock' IS350 w/ sport package yielded the fastest time around the track for several members I know. The F-sport stuff felt faster, but the times tell another story. What I was most impressed with was the stiffness that the chassis braces and sway bars provided on the F-Sport car. I absolutely loved how flat they made the car feel around the course - but was feels the best isn't always fastest.
