2009 season

#1

It’s going to be hard to see JP Coates and (likely) Mike Skeen go. Our community will be very different next year. JP and Skeen out, TeddyM3 in.

We losing anyone else?

Sucks to see those two go. Wouldn’t want to get all maudlin, but my high points of this last year were trackside at Roebling, CMP, at Road Atlanta. Ok, Roebling sucked because of the tower. And RA wasn’t so good when Fred and Bob lost their cars. But CMP was fun as shit. Ok, the first CMP weekend that took out half the field was bad. But the second CMP weekend was fun as shit.

2008 isn’t even over yet so I’m not sure why this is being discussed already. And why aren’t you going to Rockingham by the way? Stop doing DE’s and come race.

Screw JP and Skeen. I don’t like either one of those guys. Skeen’s too young and JP cheats. I need a more level playing field :laugh:

#3

I say good riddance to bad rubbish. Now if the MLT guys go, well then we have a problem.

I’m counting on Jones to up his intake of HGH and provide some more exciting / disturbingly aggressive driving along with the potential for shocking paddock violence.

JP is a cheater not to mention a total wuss, and Skeen has worn out his welcome in the SE. Move to the Midwest or something and go beat up on those guys for awhile. I’m sure they thought losing to you was novel.

#4

I’m hoping to do all of the mid atl. and most of the SE races next year.

#5

There’s so much love here. I need a tissue.

Doing Fri-Sun at Road Atlanta instead of the Rock. Getting better at RA is important. Those once/yr tracks aren’t as high of a priority. Will miss you guys tho. And it positively kills me that I’m going to miss TeddyM3’s first race.

Can someone clue a newbie into Skeen’s and JP’s plans for next year?

JP’s wife told him he can’t race anymore.

And Skeen hopefully is just going somewhere else.

Steve this is probably a new thread but I for one would be interested in a write up of the SM vs. SE30.

You’ve touched on it a bit but curious for more.

The E30 goes, the SM kind of goes.

Reverse is to the left and up on an E30. Over and down on the SM.

For more, see the other thread Jim and Craig requested.

Its easier to see Craig and Jim’s wives while they are racing. The decision has really made itself.

That is absolute horse sh!t. Racing the Rock would give you much more experience. If you can find the speed and confidence at one track you should be able to carry it over to another. Besides, you’ll be doing RA again in Dec. Sign up for the 8 hour and you’ll make up any track time you would miss this weekend.

For God’s sake. There are 4 races plus practice and quali for the guys whose wives let them go. You’ve got to be mental to choose not to sign up for that much racing.

Add in the teddy debut and this should be a must attend race. Period (except for me).

It really doesn’t matter much. I will be back full force come '09 some it will be status quo for all you clowns anyway. Still fighting over scraps:woohoo: And I am sure Skeen isn’t going away permantely. At leastI hope not until I get a few more shots at taking the crown:P

#19

Word on the streets is that Jim is going to buy Mike’s car, the ultimate RacerX maneuver? Buy the Championship winning car…
