I was busy all day Sunday so, does anyone know what happened to von c's car driven that was being driven by Jan Magnussen's nephew? He brought it into the pits, then paddock after about 3 laps.

I guess Andrew showed what Paul's car could do!

The transmission in the car that Dennis Lind was driving got stuck in 5th gear after he was having to hold it in 3rd. Andrew definitely showed me that I have a front running car with a mid pack driver! Andrew gave me some priceless data to help me learn. Also taught me that you can't go fast on 30 cycle tires.

The story is that Andrew gave his car to Dennis who drives in F3 and Andrew drove my car. Andrew smoked him and showed what a class act he always is!

I would like to offer my apologies to the Mazdaracers community, the moderators (except jim drago and the cookie monster) for filling up there PM boxes with non sense and especially to Mr.

Burgoon for herrassing him non stop for the last week or so. I realize that although I am an old good looking man, I act like a 12.5 year old ( on a good day) I really have no problems with Mr Burgoon, but once it became apparent I was annoying him, I felt compelled to ratchet it up even further. .;)

Listening to Jessica incessently shreak, all I cold think of was what her bedroom might sound like! Personally, I'd have taken her to the pits after lap one to get away from her irritating whaling. I took my bride on a 8'10th's lap and she was upset when she found out I hadn't given her a 100% race pace lap in the first go round!

Andrew showed him around for a lap and gassed it on lap 2, after about 6 turns he was 300ft behind. I slowed down and pushed Dennis back up to Andrew at which point he began to miss gears and apexes. That transmission was fine at the start, my in car vid shows 3 laps of rockstar jamming it in 3.5th and 4.5th gear, the trans gave up the goose after a valiant battle.

He has a cool accent though! ;)

Imagine if we put a good SM driver in there :)

As far as that girls screaming, I WOULD NEVER get in a car with ANY top 10 SM driver as a passenger, no way :) Not that I don't trust them, but man it wouldnt be fun from that side. I do alot of instructing, but I ALWAYS look for the beginners, hate the "move me up to the next run group guys"
