    JK - is there a test day?

    Never mind, I see there is a test day.

    Any idea how bumpy the track is for formula cars/sports racers?

    Thanks, Mike. Great to see you, thank you for stopping by our garage!

    Thanks for the kind words, Peter.

    Here's the view out of the back of my race car for Sunday's race. It's a little boring at the start.

    (I'll be back in a couple of weeks, I case anyone needs to know.)

    Not as much as being someone's navigator.

    It appears that the car you race is radio controlled. :cool:

    I'm not sure what you're trying to do here.

    The universal truth about drivers is that they all take every opportunity to race anything, anywhere, anytime. Perhaps it's different for navigators, but I don't know.

    Here's my deal with this team. It's a fantastic situation where we've grown the team from struggling club racers to a multi-car, multiple-race-winning team. I'm certain our success will lead the team in new and interesting directions.

    My membership in the team means that this season, I'm racing about every three weeks in a highly competitive series that suits my aggressive driving style. But it's also a very low-cost scenario for me--and we all know how much it costs to race anything with four wheels--to which I bring my specific racing, coaching and leadership skill set, and witness the direct results. We are consistently improving our car set ups and operations, use data analysis to its fullest, and, most importantly, are known for having the most fun in the paddock. I don't think I could ask for anything more.

    While I continue to consider opportunities racing a rung or two up the racing ladder (and wait for Corvette Racing's call), this is the best way I can spend my time playing race cars this season.

    do u think u could beat him in ur rally car.

    i am asking because i know that professioanl rallyers such as ken "BLOCK" and travis "POASTRANO" oftentimes are the fastest in actual racing.

    for example. jenson button. using rally technlogy. now he is a formula "1" winner. this diffusar that he has. which is known to make Brawn "THE FASTEST". hello? where have i seen it before. that is right. on the race-winning racing rally car of ken "BLOCK" on a ski hill winning that parictular race.

    i have read that a co-driver is the most important part of winning a race. weather it is "RANDY POSBT" or you. nobody wins a race. without a co-driver. in many ways, ross brawn is a co-driver. however. not in the car. thus freedom to eat banansas. Pretty much whenever victroy is there to be tasted. Also there is a taste of banaana. Anybody who knows F1. The way i do. Could tell that KEN BLOCK DIFUSER TECHNOLGOY and ross brawn together. That's a winner.

    As for b-mak. We have tangled before. and each time I have humliated him. he claims to be a racer. but all the time there are photos of him. and you call that a race car. Well, i don't. its a honda. when has honda ever won a race. where non-hondas were involved. and senna was not involved. obviously with senna even a honda can win. but without senna? Nope.

    so my message to you, b-mak, if that is in fact your name and not a "street name", is this. your honda could never hope to beat "BRAWN F1" and that is why you are not on television. time to give up the charade. not the daiathus charade. you can keep that ****in thing. you broke-ass canuck.
