to within 0.1 seconds of the lead after the first run, but
in the dry the DOT tire guys took over (I'm racing in a
true street tire class). Sunday was all dry, and I started
at about .005 seconds behind my main class competition,
and we swapped leads for the first two runs, and both
screwed our third runs. I beat him by more than he beat
me so I got the overall win!
Great Job Joe!

You are a BEAST!

Thanks much. I'm just a little brother around here in terms of
power mods. I look forward to experiencing what you guys do
one day with aftermarket turbos... I did once get to race in a
chipped GT2, but it was raining that day with standing water,
so it was like trying to skateboard on a greased linoleum floor...

BTW - how much did they stick you for to replace the MAF sensor? cleaning it is a decent option too...just FYI.
I paid $600 for Carlsen to diagnose and replace my MAF.
