Can I offer any help with the prep for Maine?  I can't make that trip but might be able to lend a hand before  . . . 
Please, please please, please......

Thanks from your bed ridden Starter ....

Did Al retire?

Ha, ha, ha .... LOL !!!
You are always out there trying to trip me up, aren't you ?

... and no, Al did not retire.  He is still Chief Starter.
 :wink:

Anyhow, welcome to the forum Matt, are we gonna see you in September ?

October is my best shot at making it back.

Nice run!!!  Good job from the very beginning to this run.

BTW what are you using for a camera??

Mike

Oh, and the video sure answers the question about the need for suspension doesn't it??   :mrgreen:

I will take 100 degrees with 10% humidity any day over 90 degrees with 80% humidity!!!  At least when you sweat wit low humidity it evaporates and cactually cools you down some. When it is high humidity the sweat just stocks on you all day!!!

I didn't bother posting the videos where I blow the 2-3. I need to move my shifter back a little bit since third is on my fingertips when I am strapped in tight. The Camera is a Canon SX20. The video quality is great, but I need to work on a dedicated camera mount. My rear shocks are pretty well toast, and my front struts are on the way out. They will both probably get replaced when I lower the car.

Yep, not required for my speed. All I am required to have is a Snell rated helmet and long sleeve shirt and pants. (which gets really old after the third or fourth hot lap without getting out the 90+ weather)
