Yea, I heard about this a while ago. Congrats and goodluck. I'll most likely meet you at MO. Auberlen/Alhadeff will be a hell of a combo. Don Salama/Bryan Ortiz should be a good pair too.

Oh...and you may want to avoid doing the off road drifting in the ST car.

Should be a couple of suprises out of the TMS camp this year...

Haha, thanks guys!...

Bad news:
No Laguna race! Because SJGP was taken away, CHAMP is going to Laguna the date G-A was booked on... or at least that's what I was told. Its not on the lineup for sure though. The closes to the good coast we get is Utah!

That would be cool - see if Holder can work on getting a BMW NA Challenge race for Miller as a support run group :)

Very cool, good going Matt and VJ. We'll never hear the end of this from VJ, though! :)

Have you EVER heard the end of anything from VJ?

By the way....what exactly is a VJ?:eyecrazy

Hey, Veeej, can't wait to see you at Lime Rock.

I can't believe that you're slumming with Turner this year :eek:

Watch out for Mikey and I in that FMS 330

You and Mickey for FMS?! AWESOME! I hadn't heard anything about that yet, that should be cool though!

Edit:
Hey, Paul, I was speaking with VJ and it seems I was confused and thought you were speaking about Mickey Miller... and that's not right. Aaaanyway, VJ says he'll LET you buy him a beer for what you said earlier. We'll both for sure see you at Daytona!

I really hope this is not true. Seca's site and the GA site show DP and Production cars at Seca, and I'm planning to switch my annual Monterey pilgrimage to the GA race, as we've done ALMS in October the last two seasons, but we get to see those guys at Long Beach now. The Seca site does show Cart there the same weekend, but it sounds like you're saying it will be only Cart??

Sure thing - it's always a pleasure to buy VJ a beer. After all, half of it evaporates in between sips................. No, VJ your not long winded! By the time he's done with one it's time to go anyway :)

Good luck to you guys...... Even though you've gone to the dark side:devillook

See ya soon
