Erich, when did you order your light? I think I ordered mine on Monday and it came in on Wed.

I ordered mine monday evening. Even if that made some kind of difference, it should have been here by today. I wanted that thing in by tonight.

I feel the same way. I ordered LCA's and UCA's and the Fedex website says they were supposed to be here the 13th.

so I raced this slow 97 cobra...

So I was at the light at Lake Washington and Wickham, in the left turn lane. I had just dropped off a video at Blockbuster.
Just minding my own business when this familiar silver GTS Celica drives by.. going North on Wickham. I barely got a glimpse of the driver.. but she looked pretty hot.. even though all I could see was the top of her head. I get my green arrow, and I'm off.
By the time I get to the light at Parkway, I'm doing about 60, and No guys, it didn't take me all of that road to get up to 60.
I was about in front of BCC when I come up behind this slow 97 Cobra.. I flash my lights, he pulls ahead and gets in front of the silver Celica, who was driving right next to him, like his wing man or some homo stuff like that. I pull up next to the slow 97 Cobra and match speed.. I look over and holy cow guys, this dude was about as hill billy as they get!! This fella flipped me the bird almost immediately after seeing me... so I returned the favor.
We then proceeded to play a bit of car tag.. I got the jump on him a couple times.. even led by a bumper or so for a little bit. I mean, I was all over this dude, guys... or so I thought. Maybe he was just being light on the go pedal or something, but hey, it was a slow 97 Cobra, so I thought I'd give it a go. After that, I pull up past the silver Celica GTS, then I match speeds with this girl.. I hear her down shift and get on it, and for me, that was the go signal, so I MATTED that pedal.. I nearly put my foot through the floor guys, I mean damn, I stepped on it!!

So after I catch back up to the Celica, she gives me this look like:

After that, I had driven about 2 miles past my house, so I decide to turn the beast.. I mean the Probe, around and head back home for the night.

...and all I went out to do was return a video...

How was the turnout at Longdoggers? I couldn't make it last night, my kitchen pass was expired.

Anyone planning on doing the AX practice tomorrow or the event on Sunday?

Turnout was pretty low. Not many people. So no, nothing got accomplished. And Longdoggers was pretty crowded, too.

It was really crowded, I think spring break had something to do with it.

Yep Blackmagic, I definately want those caps. Have you gotten estimates on your car yet?

Did Hooters and Sonic kick you guys out? The lighting was pretty bad at longdoggers. It was nice to meet you guys last night. I'll catch up with you in two weeks again probably. I'd love to stop buy the Autocross, but I'm too busy this weekend.

Well, we kinda voted down Sonics, and we threw ourselves out of Hooters.

Same here man! I'd be going this morning if I didn't get back from Orlando at a little past 2 am last night.... DAMN that was a good sleep.... Wonder when I work Sunday.....maybe I can make it then.....

Hey, speaking of AutoX and handling here...what would make a car's rear tilt with the car instead of holding to the road? Friend of mine said my back does it real bad when I take a turn...he says the front tries to do it too.
