Thumbs up Met MARTIN yesterday in Florida.

I'm on vacation right now in Florida with my girlfriend Claude for three weeks and just got here yesterday and quickly got in contact with my good friend MARTIN!...We met and had a good meal at Longhorn's and after that, he showed me the new wheels he bought for his GN (real nice!). Then, we went to his appartment and talked for a while before going back to our hotel. We also agreed to go to Palm Beach Raceway Saturday in two weeks (probably the 21st.) to try out his GN...He just installed a new driveshaft and billet rear axle yoke ('cause he busted the stock piece...) and we'll see how it holds up! I'll keep you posted!...

see 'ya everyone...

Claude & girlfriend claude

DIDO!!!!! I'm itching for some car weather, and I don't care what kind. The strip, street, cruise ins, anything. Help us out Claude.

Brian, it's done!... I got myself a Nikon Coolpix S700, 2GB memory card, 12.1 megapixels = $169. I think that I got a pretty good deal...With that much megapixels, you'll able to see every little detail of Martin's car!... I'll tell Martin he better do everything right as everyone (including Jack ''da man'') will see if he screws up!

Thumbs up Martin's going FAST!!!

Martin went to Palm Beach Friday evening and ran a personal best of 9.941 @135.81, with a 60ft. of 1.44 followed by another 9.946 @ 135.81, with a 60ft. of 1.47 ! Talk about constincency!...It was also the first time he ran in the 9's (finally!)
On Saturday, the event got rained out, but on Sunday I went with him to the track, but for some reason, they were only on an 1/8th of a mile on that day. Martin went a best of 6.14 @ 111.36, BUT with a 60ft. of 1.38! ...That would've been a great run if it had been on a ¼ mile!
He won the first two rounds of eliminations, but unfortunately, things started to go bad on the third as one of the fittings on the transmission cooler suddenly came off, spilling oil everywhere and of course, ending Martin's day as he was driving through the oil forcing him to lift his foot...
So back in the pit, we put the crippled GN on his trailer and brought the car at his garage where I helped Martin to unload it and, again, more bad luck as the right front tire was punctured while unloading on a sharp piece of angle iron from the trailer...
Oh well, I guess that's part of racing......But looking back at it, Martin and I still had a some fun and a great day and I'm very happy for him that he got into the 9's after a lot of hard work by him and the whole crew at Cotton's!...
That's about it for now...
See 'ya everyone!

Claude.
