Jarrod,
I'm not trying to bring anything negative up, But what is the deal with Naples? Are they getting the state Race? Rumor was that they were then they weren't . I would just like to know myself. I plan on attending if so. I sould have asked at Ft. Myers but even then it still sounded up in the air. Sorry to stir the pile, But I think someone high up should give a Positive yes or No. Again, I'm not putting anyone down, just asking.

There *WILL* be a state race there December 13th-14th.

You are correct, there was talks about Naples not being ready, but after a meeting and some clarifications, they are not losing their state race.

By the way, who are you 1fastmugen?

I thought you were Vince Tate for a while there, but vince wouldn't ask that question.

i've got the Kfactory 17/21 on the car now, which is much larger than the mugen 17/21 gears (not sure how they did that one..

But i've got 19/23 kfactory as well! but i heard that you're not on the gas too much there!! so I loosened up the droop on the car to allow better weight transfer and got some softer springs!

I got a mad hookup on a room at the comfort inn, $25/night and i'm in the presidential suite!
