Was that RX7 gutted? (He was at the past couple events, never runs tho) If so, I went to school with that guy. His name is Sam. Very nice guy. He's got his own shop and has put tons of money into that car. Runs (ran) 11's in the 1/4 with it.

Will anybody be attending the auto-x on the 15th?

Well, next year will be a little harder, as ES has the biggest PAX increase other than the kart classes.

Guess you didn't drive the Protege hard enough :) So far this year I've had 3 1st in PAX :) And hopefully more next year.

I hear the MR2's handle like lil Porsches. How true is that?

How much did you pay for your MR2?

I'm considering a rear wheel driver for my next racer. I'm seriously considering a Miata right now, but if I can't fit in one with my helmet on and the top up, it looks like an MR2 may be my next choice.

Also realize Jesse purchased a National setup type car :) That in itself is worth every penny.

Jesse's car is stock except for R compount tires. That is, unless there's something your not telling the registration guys, Jesse ;).
