I'd say it was a successful weekend.

You guys are the winners in my book. All of those BMWs are boring and make it too easy to win. It takes far more skill and talent to make something else perform. I was following the updates online and you guys were laying down quick times all day on both days.

Congrats on the awesome finishes.

For sure. Both days we were surrounded by BMWs, 4 E30s and one E36. Team Short Bus and their VW were pretty quick but they had a few problems. I think it says a lot that we are bringing something completely different and we're successful with it. Thanks for the kind words. :)
Nice work on the podium finish. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!

Yeah you guys were flying Matt. Great job! Keep in mind my buddies E30 team were all newbs to this, so they weren't going to be much of a threat. They were there for the fun and experience, and I think they had a blast!

Yeah, Derrick seemed pretty excited even with all the problems they had. It's definitely a bummer, but they all got seat time so that's what matters the most. It took us a couple events to find all the weak links in our car, so they aren't in the clear yet.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, the MR2 is like bringing a knife to gun fight against the BMW's. We are so happy to get on the poduim, everyone was cheering for us to win on Sunday. We were so close.

I think our weekend could be summed up by the drive home when we were passed on 94 by the chumpcar crew in a rental car and they put up the sign "Got Gas?" in the window for us to see..

Doah!
