Well, talk about "Welcome to last week !".......

I started watching the show Set Up on Speed and low and behold saw where the autocross community is being represented by Mike this season .......and, if I heard them correctly, has won 2 out of 3 of the events he has been in thus far.

Even better; Mike won this particular race I was watching and a crew chief of another driver boasted that if his driver would have had a few more laps that he could have easily taken Mike ~ the hosts asked Mike if he felt that would have been the case and he confidently said "no". More words were said and before you know it the hosts had just these two boys on the track to race ~ telling the other guy that if he couldn't beat Mike that he would be out.

Long story short; Mike won, the other guy wasn't kicked off but his crew chief was besically told to not to be so arrogant, as it could cost his driver next time

Congratz to Mike ! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

Wow, the end of the show was hard to watch. Ernesto Roco is well known as an AI racer in his red Mustang out west, and I'm sure many of you attending the NASA nationals know of him too from his outstanding performances there. He won the nationals the first year if I remember right! The show ends with Ernesto going off an embankment shortly after the race start and Tommy Kendall calling for an ambulance since Ernesto was not moving and slumped against his steering wheel. It looked like quite a drop, hope he is ok! It's going to be a long week.....

Mike Jr., always follow your dreams. That is the secret to life! One of my favorite movies has a scene where a daughter says of her father, "he says very few people are actually awake in life. These people live in a constant state of amazment."
