Ya, that beer was so dark, no light, not even the sun could pass through it. 
Hell, im <burp> still tasting it! .55 is an eternity on that course! (Ya, I got 
spanked!) Its a good thing we raced on Monday, (Good call) it snowed Tuesday!

NOW HE TELLS ME! 
Ya, it was fun. I just wish I could have gone back on thursday like we planned 
but my family got in the way of our fun. ("Damn it, grandma's breathing, im gonna 
go to Boulder"! It didnt work.) I think I was just figuring out the course. (My 
fastest time was in my last lap...) I think given another 11 laps, I coulda maybe 
got down to .10 - .20 of your fastest time. 

Same goes here, anybody up to a MGP here in San Diego, lemme know. Its awsome 
Solo II training!
