NARRC Runoffs

Uuuuuhh, this coming from a guy that's passed up HOW MANY events...? IIRC, JoeBoy has been to all the tracks you have, PLUS Mid-Ohio twice (IT Fest and NASA Nats), is registered for WGI, and is heading southward for the ARRC?

Teapot/kettle/black and glass houses, and all that... [/b]

Never passed on ANY event I had planned at the beginning of the season. Especially ones that included weather that didn't meet my 'needs'...which ended up to be about 6 of them... :rolleyes:

Oh well.

You forgot Summit Point. :D
 
Believe me, It's killing me not to be at LRP for the NARRC-OFFS. I believe this will be the first time I missed the NARRC-OFF since '95. I must admit that originally I did plan to be there, but family stuff got in the way weeks ago (July) - Although third is a lock Crazy Joe's second place spot is up for grabs in ITA. It's going to be a hell of race. Players will be missing, but what about the Dark Horse and Ringers (Serra, Hawthorne and others to be announced soon)

Let's me see - a possible second place finish in the NARRC Series, and another win at LRP or a divorce, second and a win or a divorce - Don't worry Joe your silver is safe. :D

Yep, that's right! Sorry about that oversight Joe-Boy!

And, let's see, I think I got in Summit and VIR in there, too...and I least VISITED Nelson Ledge as part of a team...added to LRP, NHIS, Mid-O, and WGI...and I'm going back to VIR this year...and Road Atlanta...

...you know, Joe, you and I really ought to venture outside our little pond some time, you know what I mean...?

It's a good idea, especially when the sharks in the 'little' pond would be eating your lunch! The little fish are all growed up!

Ahhh, life is good.

Pocono, right! Damn, I must be gettin' old in my age and experience! There tweren't any more in there that I forget about in my drunken stupor, is there...?

Say, isn't Pocono where...? Nah, I must be thinkin' of something else...

Hmmm, seems to me (from watchin' National Geographic - that's one of them there "educational shows") that sharks' ability to grow is severely limited by its environment...they can only grow so far until they just...well, stop. Up 'til that point, what are small fish called? What is it? - minnows?

But, hey, if you build a big enough stick, even a minnow can swim with The Big Fish once in a while...but if they stay in the small pond, they're still minnows...

;)

Now, if the minnow wants to swap sticks with the shark just to prove how "good" it really is...well, that's another fairy tale...
 
Just don't start cryin' again when the minnow continues to whack you around with his big stick, regardless of the pond... :023:

Seriously, it won't be the same without Joe, Tim, Greg and Rick. You can only beat who shows up (right Jeff?) but it would be nice to have the Region's best at it's biggest race. The addition of Shane and Anthony is huge but....Next year the series gets a revamp.
 
:)

True, true. I don't begrudge you your success one iota; you done good, grasshopper! I wish our goals hadn't been so divergent, it might have been a good run this year!

You just never know what might happen in the future, so stop bein' all sheiss-cocky and "stuff" and get your prep in order; God Almighty Himself might be comin' your way with your number in His hand (or so he boasts....)!!!

See y'all this weekend; Yuengling Lager on ice at my trailer!

Guess what kind of car Doug Kinser drives in ITA...

To be fair, Andy, he was 30 seconds out from 2nd place and would have been 4th had the leader not killed another half-shaft after breaking the track record (and running over one sec/lap faster than the eventual winner). That said, Mr. Kinser might find a few seconds with a full-tilt motor and maybe a front air damn too (pretty cool how the nose of his car points skyward--kinda like it needs a motor in the front).

-Gregg (who came in 2nd)

6th if Pritt had figured out he needs to replace tires every forth race BEFORE Marrs X. I say 6th cause Brad probably wouldn't ahve let him by either.

Still thin a new motor would help cut the 3o sec gap down to maybe 15

I was just poking at Jake's comment about being the fastest Toyota at every race. That guy is 2 seconds faster than his best lap there with an unprepped motor.

As far as results go, I don't look at where you finish, I look at fast laps to get a 'feel' for how competitive a guy was on a certain day. Anything can happen in between. All the banter surrounding the MR2 lately I thought it would be funny to point out this result.

In the end, it doesn't matter. The process is the process. Believe in it Luke.
 
No race for me. I decided months ago that I would not race. It is due to the stupid ass rule they made about doing all the freakin region races at LRP to get double points. So there rule lost one instead of gained.

I made the same choice as well... This race was originally on my never to miss schedule, but the sneeky rules realy changed my mind. It turned out to be a good choice as Dad's bachelor party is Friday night and isn't anywhere near Lime Rock.

However I WANT TO COME VISIT WITH EVERYONE... but I don't want to work (I am not suporting LRP NARRC series races with voluntter work, and I have worked enough races this season, so its time to hang with the friends!!!)... ANYONE HAVE A CREW SPOT OPEN???

Let me ask you this: If you didn't plan on running for a Championship this year anyway, what beef do you have with individual events? You give a lot to NER but you are only hurting this event and potentially our future there by boycotting. If you want to race it, race it. The NARRC Committee knows we want a change and has mobilized us to help them. 2008 will be different.

...and something published at the beginning of the year before anyone turned a wheel is hardly sneeky. Just because the rules package was not the greatest doesn't make it underhanded. We as drivers will be involved this upcoming year. Make sure your voice is loud and clear what you want. I got involved because I didn't like the situation but boycotting an event because of series rules when you aren't even running the series seems counter-productive. Help me understand.

I have a crew spot for you...09 ITA. You are in. You can go on record over a beer or 5. :)
 
Andy-

Thanks for the crew spot!!! Much appreciated...

As everyone knows, I didn't like the NARRC thing in 2007 at all, I am glad that people will actually be listened to in 2008. The changes are excellent and I look forward to seeing how the drivers organize this series rather than the people putting on the events. It should make for a better series.

Now how is my boycotting EVERY NARRC race this year helpfull... We (not just my complaining) got heard, and changes are being made :023: If people like me boycotting helped or not, it did make me feel good (wright or wrong :rolleyes: ).

We could argua all day about what people should or shouldn't do... either way I have dad's party, so I can't come down till Saturday anyhow. If I didn't have the party, realisticly I would probably be looking into registering for the first race ever that has more ITB cars than any other IT class... :birra:

Raymond "see you Saturday..." Blethen
