Default Video at CMP with PCA....

After talking it over with mazdarati Rob he said it was okay to show his Joey Chitwood impersonation.

Before we get to that here’s the new nose art that made it’s debut at CMP with the PCA.



I think Mazdarati Rob was trying to read all of it in his mirrors when this happened:

Help me before I spin, again!

After I review my tapes, if I see something interesting, I'll post it here. Not much comes to mind right now.

The video is a classic example of what happens when the mayor of BPK and his Z06 ride with 400 hp running 315 tires all the way around can do to less accomplished drivers. Yes, I saw him coming and obviously pinched the turn off and lost what little grip that I did have. What concerned me most was when I flipped around and was staring at that big HOWDY out the left side of the driver's window. That was when I hit the brakes and flipped back around. I have to admit it did seem closer. Sure was pretty though. My first pirouette in a car. I knew he was going to get me. I was just trying to postpone it and actually acclerated it.

I have a picture that Falcon is going to have to post for me. It is of all the Corvette crowd admiring the massive power plant of the 1.3 liter Mazda RX-8. I wish I had the recording of the conversation.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. It sure is tough trying to hang with all the big dogs and their muscle cars.

I think the conversation was centered on how you feed the squirrel inside the engine....but I am sure your caption will be different.

I have seen the Howdy closing fast myself..

Oh, you have no trouble hanging with the Chevy's. I happen to catch you at a vulnerable moment this time. You have to use talent to get around the track, while all I do is rely in a big V8 and tons of torque.

So how many Videos does the Mayor have of cars spinning in front of him??

I bet it is all those backwards signes those drives keep trying to read in their mirrors.

Don't feel too bad, Rob. I hear the BPK 'Howdy'mobile is down into the 1:48s now at CMP. Chris Ingles' fastest winning race lap in Feb was 1:46.1 in a Phoenix prepared T1 Vette with the rest of the T1 field in the 47s and 48s. He may be old but he sure ain't slow (on the track anyway).

I know he has at least two of me. The other one was at RRR in T2.
