Most are running dbl purple rf, white lf, white lr and grey/white rr.
You can start them at 2.20 Its not gonna hurt you. Run them down to 2.08. Then they are gone. |

Yes Duke (My Hero) you can drive my 10.5 car. Can you wait until Sunday morning at the track to cut those tires down? I would like to watch and see the tears rolling down your face. Oh just one more thing Duke. If you want to go fast you need to put a new set on each run. (Jack the Gripper)

Duke, If the foam dust turns to plastic dust, you went 0.008 too far! 
I'm sorry, you don't even know me but I like to be helpful. And that is how Keith helps me! |

All of you are very welcome. It could be Greg or Ray helping.
Oh just remembered something from last Saturday! Mr Greg Dean yes (I have the line) was such a gentlemen. He moved over several times and let the faster cars go. What a great racer. Then there was Ray! Well after a little practice he just packed his stuff and left.
