I was thinking about bringing it buy your car wash... do you have someone who can detail it? It has no swirls!!! I would like to keep it that way? Maybe when the weather is good we could run it against the black GT800? Still waiting on approval from Akram

Rob, your car is the "imaginary Porsche" in Houston, TX!!!! We've all seen pictures, we've all heard about it, but no one has seen it in person! Will you bring it to the February 60 to 130 event???

It does exist. I've seen it (and driven it). Rob has the patience of Job. His problem is that he cannot leave well enough alone. Each time he gets his car back (with more power), less time elapses before he returns it for even more power. If things continue at their current rate, he will have his completed car for 15 minutes before he hands it over...and it will be 72 months until he sees it again.

Fortunately; my car is NOT my life, it is a hobby that I like to drive once in a while. I have several hobbies that are more intertaining but I do make appearances at HPD events once in a while. My friends know my car well and a few have driven it. Currently, I am moving into my new house which is taking up most of my free time. Hmm I really dont do any official times in the car but if you like to see it in action no problems. I have raced a couple of the big boys from HPD but that is about it. Good luck and Merry Christmas to all.
HAVE A BOOSTED CHRISTMAS

Alright guys/gals, it's 1/1/08 and we're not even close to the 40 that we need for TWS. If by 1/15/08 (the deadline) we do not have 40 signed up, we will move to plan B (plan B is a different track that is not as expensive at TWS). Plan B will require 25 signed up/payed by 2/1/08. If we do not have that, the Road Racing/Driver's Education will be cancelled and TX2K8 will turn into a 3-day event. Of course this will affect everything including the ULTIMATE Street Car Competition...

That is very nice Rob. Same goes for me, I have put 300 miles on my car in the past year. I hope your car makes it to the 2/9/08 60 to 130 event.

Hurry up and register people. I know I won't be at the road race event due to my class schedule this semester and I'm hoping that I can make it out on Friday for the dyno day (got to make sure I don't get scheduled to goto any customers). The rest of the event I'm planning on being there even if its just to spectate. I want to compete in the 60-130 event in my car, but not sure if my new setup is going to be ready to go by then.. I know Matt will be ready for 60-130 though for sure.

Looks like I might be able to make it this year. All my crap is too slow for this event! Look like you are going to make me have to get a two car trailer to haul a couple of cars down there.

Ford GT and 997 TT too slow? Please, you should do very well. What you might lack in raw hp you will make up on the track.
