Great day today. Mayhem got a dyno tune at Eurocharged. Over four hours on the dyno. Base line run=220 Hp at the wheel to final=304 HP at the wheel.

Back in St Louis later this evening drove right on to Gateway Motor Speedway he won his class with a 12.004 sec blast on his second pass.
11's are so close.

Yippie Ky Yeah.

Default Motorcross

The Boeing Company autocross club will be hosting a meet this Sunday 08/09 at 9:30 AM at building 33 on the corner of Lindbergh and McDonald. Registration starts at 9:30 AM I believe. My car is currently down do to the need of some new wheels. Let me know if anyone is interested. You will have the chance to run your times against corvettes, mini coopers, BMW, Porsche, Pontiac Solstice, Mazda 3, 350 Z's you name it! Sometimes the crowd is big. I believe its only $10 to register and some waivers. Helmets are available. some of these guys are really good. Just for the record, I did not represent well the last time I went because my wheels were shot, air pressure was way off, to much weight in the car, and I knocked over 4 cones on the last turn (+5 killed me). I wish I could run this coming Sunday, but she will not be ready till the middle of next week.



Thanks

Sorry, we'll still be at the lake at that time...besides, you know I don't race...but would love to see you run through it. Please let me know the next Sunday. While you are there, can you see if they only do this on the weekend? Would be nice to have a mid week for the big gathering next year...we're up to 76 attending.

I almost never see SRT6s in the area, but heading to work today I saw a silver/blue (can't remember the name of the color) one on 44 east about 5-10 miles from downtown. He saw me and I gave a thumbs up, was it anyone on here?

Franc were you out trolling in Cathy's car again....LOL

More than likely someone the GCG doesn't know yet. There seem to be a boat load of XF's in the St. Louis area, but we can't seem to get to them. BTW reality, if you see a red roadster driving on 270 towards 55 around 6am or the other way around 3-5pm, it's a good possibility it is me...if you're going my direction and in your car, flash me and I'll pull over to chat.
