Three times all this year.

Although I did practice a lot on my X-Box 360 & Forza 2, Unfortantly they don't have Mid -Ohio so I have to run Road Atlanta

Keep in mind he had a pretty amazing coach show him the line around M-O his first time out...

Then he got faster than said teacher, who no longer likes him.

I still think you would be faster in my car than I would in yours, sometimes it helps to have better equipment. Besides we're all on the same team, even though you beat up Foster

That was spectacular! I haven't seen a Corvette pass a 240SX like that since I was a kid.

How fast can you go with other cars on the track?

Does it help to throw-up before or after the session?

Do you primarily use the Mad Brew fuel or are you pumping in something else locally purchased?

Does the helmet paint job make you go faster?

Do you think lowering the helmet visor would reduce drag?

Do you need a larger helmet for next year?

Kudos KS and excellent job bringing home the top honors for the OH/IN Region!

I think I can answer your questions:

We like to keep the 240's behind us in case something spectacular happens and we need video.

TBD, but most likely the bump drafting will only help his times.

During is preferred, but in a pinch he uses the "before" option, and spews it through his nose for added potency.

We had Canadian imports...

He wasn't wearing a helmet, that's painted directly on his head.

Possibly, but then no one would be able to see that it was really him driving. We'd have the Mosport debacle all over again.

Clearly the fame has not gone to his head. He's only been referring to himself as "the best there ever was" for four days now. I'm sure in time it will fade. Or maybe not.

As predicted, OH/IN dominated at Mid-Ohio, and there is a solid chance that we will dominate the regional titles as well...not that it's possible to lose them. But that's not the point.
