I may have to steal a small car for next summer to run at a few events. 🙂 Maybe it had to be a clean run w/o hitting cones ---

maybe whitey drove straight to the finish line and it only took 2 seconds. Then the cone penalties added up to 21 seconds… j/k, I know that would be an OC. I wish I was more in the loop when this stuff happens. ---

> [@bics56](#): > > Maybe it had to be a clean run w/o hitting cones correct. a few guys around me got a 26.9 but hit a few cones, so they didn’t get the tickets. 23.9 is a rediculous time. They had the 3 “pro” drivers do a few laps to get some pics and they were all in the very high 26 second range. And how could some vw driving homo like whitey be 3 seconds faster than a redneck like me, it just doesn’t make any sense? :D:D:D ---

> [@whitey](#): > > Got a call yesterday from Jeff from Street Heaters letting me know about an exhibit being held at the stadiums by Mini Cooper and Kumho. So at lunch I took my boss down with me to beat on some Mini’s! It was a blast for a 5 dollar donation to Leukemia Society you got to run 3 different mini’s through the cone course. I ran the best time over the past to days with a 23.92. The people were impressed, I was shocked! It was fun getting those mini’s to drift a little sideways! > > here is a shot of me getting interviewed by Street Heaters. sweet outfit. so now all of Pittsburgh is gonna think we’re all internet dorks that sprout wood when they get to stand next to a female. ---
