I get a lot of this too, just gotta pick and choose. I just don't want to get arrested for racing when I'm just showing some kid "what it has". Would rather save that for when I'm actually racing.

True True. I usually check to make sure the coast is clear, but I think I should be more carefull. Don't want a ticket for "showing some kid what it has". That would suck royally.

Hey Wes, do you ever get around the Dallas area. I'm going to go to Oklahoma City this summer and I could make a detour to Dallas if you wanna run a turbo s2000. I'll have mine on by then.

PS My wife is from OKC, that's the only reason I go there. Nice little 10 hour drive.

I don't really ever leave Houston, but there are some car shows coming up this year. There is one in Dallas, I might end up going to it; just depends.

i'd probably race for $5 but that would be about it. i'm stingy and i hate losing money, which is why i don't gamble.

Milo,

Call me next Sunday. I know all the illegal races are on Sundays in Denver. I still have you number if it is still the number you gave me when you first moved here.

Wanna see how you do. Seen that guy in the yellow one lately?

I also have a friend that is interested in talking to the GTS owner about the turbo setup.

Can't wait until your car gets the turbo kit. I will take ticket #1 for the ride.

Milo, did you happen to get a chance and look under the GT-S hood to confirm it was a turbo. If he does have one that would make him only the second turbo'd GT-S that I know of in the US and would love to know who did his. The first was done by XS engineering and putting down approx. 250HP at the wheels. If you see him again would you find out. Thanks
