Default Indy 2011

Hit the road a few hours on my way home from my first Indy and I'm glad I decided to make the trip. Met a lot of awesome people and a few shady characters but thats the spice of life I guess. The two heads-up runs were an absolute blast. Still a lot of r&d to do on the old 454 but thanks to Jim Boudreau, we squeezed every ounce out of it that we could find. Just wanted to thank everyone for the support both online and at the track and send a huge thank you to Anthony Bongiovanni and Jim Boudreau. Both guys stayed an extra day if not more and there is no way I win round 3 and 4 without them. Jim was all packed up to leave 'til I told him about my heads-up and he immediately slid out the old Camaro and started removing some go-go goodies for me to use. He is the best at going fast and I feel like I let him down even though he says otherwise. Hope to keep in touch with a lot of the guys across the country (and the globe), and I will see the rest of you in about 36 hours at E-Town.

Mike, congratulations, your performance was impressive, especially considering you think there's more left.

Mike:

Not much got done today,back here in D1 land, most were glued to the computer, using audiocast, awaiting the outcome of your next round.

Kid, you were smoking!!

A fresh case of Yeungling should cool you off!!
