Hi Eric,
Thanks for the compliment. What cars are you bringing down to Texas? I assume your Z and your GTT? Looking forward to seeing you in Texas

Exactly. Left the Z home last year and rented a Miata for GrandSport. Really missed tracking the Z so it will be making a return trip.

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing you. Any plans to run the GTT or the Z in the 1/4 mile?

Jason...I've always admired your posts about your GTR over on NAGROC...beautiful piece of machinery you have and great combination of changes on the ride. Looks like our GTR's will be shop buddies...my ride will start it's journey to Ohio 2/1/12 for a couple months of work.

Plan to take a trip up their with my local wrench in March or April to see the shop and meet the guys who are up to their armpits in the innards of my ride...hopefully I get to see your ride in person.

Jon (AMGfan on NAGTROC, MBWorld, and L4P)
