I already explained to Tom that the "tuning" they did on my car is what all the computers in his fuel injected car do already. They did my alignment and balancing of my tires, they changed all fluids, and tightened up all nuts and bolts, replaced the engine dampner with the exact same one, and I have the reciept. They took 4 days just to do my alignment and have in no way shape or form been trying to go the extra mile for this race, a cat was ****ting in the parking lot the other day and I think that was of more interest than them working on my car. Bottom line is his altering the shift points in his computer is 1000% altering the car and it's current computer settings and might even void the warranty.

Seeing every one of these paranoid posts from Blitz brightens my day so, so much.

We've only talked about the cars so far.

I was going to suggest to Dan that he could lose 10-20 lbs between now and the race to lighten the load, so to speak, but maybe he should gain some weight for more traction.

Dan could always go "Tonya Harding" on Tom before the race. But don't go for the legs, go for the fingers.
