    Skirt checking?

    Can't they just go by lap times rather than embarass them again in tech when somehting is missing?

    Good choice. I have seen him be the voice of reason several times.

    Just asked my brother. He says the females can have them on the leg if it can be completely covered by her hand.

    I was wondering why he had an Exacto knife in his left hand.


    It doesn't take long to get off thread these days.

    I saw that Nathan was "lurking". If he puts in a good word about Joe, then 4 of the 5 faces on Mount Apex would be approving Griffin. That might cause Rand to reconsider.

    Because if the tattoo is too large, he will remove it.

    From my memories of OTS (admittedly dimmed by time), it's to remove "anchors and cables" from one's uniform.

    With apologies to Hunter S. Thompson, anyone who wants the job should automatically be disqualified.

    Seriously, I don't think I know Joe Griffin, but his face does look familiar. I have heard very good things about him and I'm looking forward to meeting him.

    An Atlantic Championship forum makes a lot of sense.

    OMG, now we are 4 out of 5. If Pare chimes in positive... we might as well just go ahead and make Griffin the president of SCCA.

    Well, Fast Matt was in there when Mount Apex first came up in the Turkey Trot thread. So I think it's 4 of 6.

    Anybody else have trouble posting with a iPad? Browser keeps dying.... Only site to do it so far.....

    Anyway - I'm not so sure I fit in with such lofty, notable company - I don't own a slide ruler or crocks..... But emperor of mount apex works for me so I'll self proclaim it.....

    I don't know the guy - but I know of the guy...... And I know I've seen him around many a race track..... Works for me! Even if he has kept company with Rand......

    Of course, I wonder what his rules interpretation of an FC car is......

    Oh - are you saying that is a woman wearing the skirt? No way..... Those calfs look like they belong to a goat

    That was the last of my new years resolutions.... Being more sensitive to others..... Damn...........

    So...
    If Fast Matt, Wren, Josh, Nathan, and Frog all agree... (as i remember, those are the 5 faces being carved larger than life on Mount Apex to soon replace Mount Rushmore as the least visited National Park.)

    Is this a sure sign of the apocalypse?

    Whoa whoa - I need to re-read Wrens posts to make sure there is no double entendre mixed up in there anyplace before I completely agree...... Plus I thought Richard was invited to mount apex..... And just to throw a thought out there - we need some woman on mount apex...we don't want too much sausage in the soup so to speak......

    Frog as long as my head appears the biggest - I'm in......

    No way are those legs female....

    If they are sculpted to scale it will be. Literally or figuratively.
