Default Not going that fast Vector

Vector1 I am not going that fast. I have been at 140 on my bikes, the cobra with the big paxton scoop starts to lift in the 120's. 140 I could take off. No diaper, I like the autocross most. I'm not a speed junkie anymore. I know my limits and don't abuse them. Accidents happen, I have spun out twice going into turn 1 at gateway. Was lucky and didn't hit anything. I didn't temp faith any more. I spend more time working on other cars now. Last year was a Hersh's GT-40 with a starter problem and Deans sway bar bushing repair.The best was a Lew Paine rack problem that we took his car to GY for a rack and alignment. This is the best group of people I have meet at any event so far. Hope you make it this year. I have one thought for you, after 3-4 days of racing every one is just happy going home in one peice. A $15.00 trophy is not worth destroying a $40-80,000.00 dollar car. Nobody expects this to happen but it can. Rick L.
