North vs South Competition

[Erv]

guys this is sad 5 for the hsv event and they have 27 signed up... I may have to drive, anyone have a codrive opportunity available? there's a lunch in it for you. I just don't have the money for tires and springs prior to the event.

STF has the best PAX of all the classes. You'll be fine on your shot tires

Also, remember the TVR guys have actually trained the majority of their folks to pre-register. At least half our usual crowd just shows up unannounced. Our challenge is to get that segment to travel.

[Erv]

there are two other fast driver from TVR that are STF as well FYI, and I was told at least one would be coming down.

[rodhx]

from a North v. South standpoint I bet you will still be top 25 to contribute to the cause

Just throwing this out there, I think we should do 3 run groups with the amount of people we might get and if not my thought is the 2 groups should be split by TVR and ALSCCA and keep all of the "teams" together, working and racing. Just my 2cents

not able to get everything we wanted worked out. but next year will be fun. remember those 120+ second runs....yep, we'll be shooting to be close to that.

Awww shucks, I like the SSSS and wanted to run it again this year.

PAX doesn't help if you are sliding around the whole time, our surfaces require tread blocks, which my tires are lacking in.

If you want, I could bring the SSSS trophy with me to the event on Saturday. I know it's been a few years since you've seen it. I bet you've forgotten what it looks like. I'll bring it if you want, ok?. Just let me know.


Sorry Mike, but that was like a hanging curve ball, letter-high, couldn't help myself. I had to swing.

Now that I have said it, I do realize that I have probably sealed my own fate in the proposed 2013 SSSS by talking smack at all, much less with Cavanaugh. A guy who earned his PhD in Racing Psychology, is credited with introducing the whole concept of "Mind Games" and perfecting the use of "Sarcasm" as a competitive weapon to distract one's opponents to the point that their emotions take over, they lose focus, make bad decisions and, ultimately, beat themselves. At least that's what he's taught me through the years. Looking forward to another SSSS class in 2013, Dr. Cavanaugh. I just hope I make it into the shootout so we can battle it out again.

One question though, Mike. If I win the SSSS 4 times in a row, will you finally quit calling it your trophy?
Sorry. Sorry, slipped again. My bad. Man, I'm asking for it, aren't I?

[mpcavana]

I will admit to it being "OUR" trophy and you won it fairly last time. If you beat me next year then you'll have the satisfaction of waiting until I am too old to find the course but I will admit that it is "Yours". If I can remember how to find Birmingham by then...

BTW, I don't need to see it. If I did I might have a Golem moment and hit you over the head from behind and run off with it.

Yes your GPS says you have arrived and boom nothing there. Figured that out the first time. Luckily some joggers pointed me in the right direction.

Take 65 north, get off on highway 36 go right, wait for it to end at the wavaho, turn left onto 231. Stay on that until you get to the Airport Road exit (there is no airport there), hang a left onto airport, and then take a right at the second light. Soccer fields should be on both sides and you'll be driving towards a big steel gate.
