You're like me. Make the first pass and ignore the time slip because it's usually garbage.

Remind me not to bracket race you. Your car's too consistent.

Nice times.

Thats weird, my car generally runs faster when its cold as long as I heat up the tires enough.

Derrick - Last time I weighed, it was 3530. Now I'm pretty sure its in the 3480 range.

Frank - Looking forward to coming down there, we need to line them up!

Stephen - Car's pretty consistant on bracket racing day, someday's the drivers not!
