saw you guys on TV on Saturday evening on the Discovery channel I believe.... they were doing a whole segment on race cars.... you were up against a white Solara.

i saw you sitting in your drag GS w/ a buddy doing something w/ the head unit area. @ first glance I thought you looked like Vanilla ICE..... anyways.... props!

Well, we had a rough one this past weekend in Etown. Yes the car took a beating, but we are in a mad rush to get it fixed back up, and we will be at ATCO in 2 weeks. But I did get to meet a few fellow CL members and got to put a face with a name. Johnny and Marc, thanks again for everything, was great getting to meet you. Marc thanks for the videos also. You didn't happen to get that last run on tape did ya? Would love to see it if you did. Johnny I didn't get a chance to get by and check out your car. Was a hectic day. But it looks awesome from all of the pics on here. i also got to meet another CL member on sunday. I forgot his CL name, but he one bad *** white GS. It was the first GS that I have ever seen in person without a sunroof. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and I hope to get to see more of you at the races. Johnny thanks for the phone call also. I got your messege yesterday, But I lost your number. I ended up throwing my cell phone accross the track after I hit the wall. My phone still worked but the screen busted so I couldn't look up any numbers or see who was calling, lol. But anyway, thanks again to everyone.

yeah saw you guys on the discovery channel... i can't remember what the show was called but it was all about racing....

I believe I saw you in the driver seat w/ a blue hat on backwards fiddling around w/ the headunit... there was another guy in the passenger seat... .the camera seemed to be pretty close up to you guys but you were too busy dialing in some stuff up the headunit to notice I guess.... immediately after that clip was the Solara clip.

WOW, I was watching the ETOWN recap today on ESPN2, I recorded it....damn is all I can say...

I'm glad you walked away from that Justin...as well as myself this past wed.....I guess etown's right lane just doesnt like blue lexus' as you said....so when ur back at etown in the fall, make sure you get lane choice and stick to the left.....however, after talking to George today, he said that he has always run faster in the right lane, so go figuire........

are you even going to stage this weekend in Atco? or not race? let me know...
