You and Greg are both in 3 this weekend so y'all should have a good time trying to chase each other down. He's quick so you best be on your game.

Look forward to seeing you too..

There may be a P-car (Ed) that may be fast also...

Save the comforting for Jeff when Team Werner Law gets disgraced by an 127k mile street car...

Ed Oblow is quick. That car isn't near the 8.7 limit, but it sticks in the corners

Yep. It'll be good seeing him again.
He's been out of the scene for a while now.

Ed has been racing PCA - we saw him at Barber last month. He is DARN fast at Road Atlanta.

Team Werner Law is hydrating and taking plenty of meds at the moment. Are there doping rules in NASA?

That was a long time ago when the cars were reviewed with a "fine tooth comb". Ed is a great guy.

Just remember to take it easy in the cold morning session or you could end up with a car like this:

See you in the paddock!

He somehow lost it at the bottom of the esses, tank slapped and went backwards into the wall at drivers right. It was a hard hit...parts exploded off the back of the car. The crunching sound was not fun to listen to. The car was quickly covered with a tarp in the paddock.
