A thousand bucks to drive six hundred miles each way? Let's raise the stakes a bit. Let's say that the loser:

* Quits SRTForums. Note that I have more to lose here; I've been a member for nearly five years.

* Agrees to never run One Lap of America again.

As far as using your car, that's a copout. Let me offer you another option, one you would be wise to choose: We'll find a NASA or Koni team willing to rent us their car for the day, we will split the rental fee, and we'll drive the same unknown car under equal circumstances. I'm thinking an AI Mustang, which can be had for about $3K a day, or something similar. Let's make it a driver's race. It's bad enough I have to drive all the way south so you can run on home ground.

Frankly, I wish I knew what your problem was. You've been trying to get my attention for more than two years now. I don't know how to tell you this, but you're the only person left who has any issue regarding our class win in 2006. Brock doesn't care. Brock Jr. doesn't care. Nobody at Road America cares - we'll be back racing there this year. Dale doesn't care.

The only person left who cares is you, and I can't figure out why. You weren't involved in any aspect of the "situation", you aren't a team member of anybody involved, and you aren't even a racer. Everybody has moved on and shaken hands, with the exception of goofy ol' Douglas Wind, who wasn't even a player in the original deal. It's kind of pathetic. You're like the ugly girl in high school who walks in on a clique laughing about something and laughs right along even though she doesn't know the joke. Then everybody stops laughing, but she doesn't know if she should or not.

My advice to you would be to focus on your own driving career and stop worrying about what other people are doing. The word I've used to describe you in previous posts is "wannabe", and I think it applies. Other people are out racing, working with manufacturers, building teams, winning races (or losing 'em) and in general progressing. What are you doing? Not much. And now you think you can become famous by running against me in a time trial? If it makes you happy. Brian will sort out the details and come up with a contract for you to sign.
