Ferrariphile 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 I just saw him in practice and have been watching the speedweeks events. He's incredibly advanced for a "rookie". I would love to see him in Victory Lane on Sunday evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling some of the other runners might give him a hard time, but he qualified well and with his talent he probably won't have that bad of a time, barring any more equipment failures.

Ferrariphile 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Marks fault, he should've kept his foot in it....................... Quite exciting, and yes, he should have. As for JPM, a top 20 finish his first time out at the Great American Race is OK. Hopefully he'll be doing better out at your end of the country next weekend. Now's a good time to get that new license plate for my car. At least I can hope... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
