Hey Z, the man is ahead of his time...we'll all be going diesel pretty soon...look at the kind of performance the latest burners have!! And speak about torque :!: :!:
So you all enjoy your Alfa V6's, be they 12 or 24v, the time is near when a similar size burner will cleanly blow all our doors off and do so using about half the fuel and 2/3 of the revs...yeah, life sucks - I know! :cry: What's more, there's a whole electronics industry out there chipping the damn things and doind a very good job of it! I better start saving my trusty old N2C spark plugs, they may soon be conversation pieces!

Bad news, nobody! (Futurama joke)

Someone thought it was a good idea to move our first race of the season... Guess what date they chose..? :x

I'm out.
This is turning into a joke. :evil:

What your bailing out ..... no ring trip?
:twisted: finding excuses not to come to the ring is one thing, but changing a complete race calendar as an excuse :shock:
I delayed the move to our new house a month for it :oops:

:shock: we wanted to go see the first tests and training for the vln this season on Saturday (24-3). Where I live it is +7 deg C at the moment .........

VLN is a long distance race class also a training/classification for the 24h race on the ring.

Well, what else can I say except: :D or possibly: :twisted:

Private schedule now looks empty, gotta check out my work schedule though. New assignment -> huge workload but it's all worth it. :)

Preliminary I'm in but need to have a look at the planning at work.
