Thank you Rick, I was talking about Mitch Baker. The easiest way to beat him was in the final I had back in about 2002-2003 (at an Import/Sport Compact race at Bandimere). I was so amped up to race him that I overshifted my Z24's factory Turbo 125 tranny shifter (thanks a lot you tranny guys for not making performance shifters for fwd transaxles), against him and his Toyota Tundra pick-up, and lost a race I should've easily won! How could a guy who was so successful driving Chevrolets in Pro E.T. be a salesman for Toyota??? I wanted to take him out for that reason, and since imports (especially original or Stock Eliminator legal versions) have a consistency issue that's worse than any of the American fwd stockers, I had an easy time winning against all of the other racers I lined up next to. I saw Mitch Bakers greatness (with his Camaro's), but I wish I could have do-overs with him and that truck...only a rematch of the 2006 quarter-finals (at the Mopar Mile Mile High Nationals) with Ryan McClanahan would I desire more than that!
