That's not a bad way to start a weekend. Let's hope that all of our friends have a good weekend. (And of course that includes you guys, too.)

Yeah, not his first day at the rodeo.

I must say that I am a pretty big Pat Long fan. Regardless of the fact that he is driving that German garbage with the engine and transmission the wrong way 'round.

Hey now, those are fighting words. But yes, Patrick is a swell guy. In fact, I just got a funny e-mail from him.

Pat and Jorg had a hell of a drive today. The BMW's put up a fight, but didn't come close enough.

Yep. Pole and win isn't a sucky way to spend a weekend.

So, David, How was your weekend? It seems like we are the only ones who care about this...Maybe Pat could weigh in, can't you convince him that this message board is the place to be?

I didn't get to go but the two Flying Lizard trucks passed me while I was test driving my friend's Saturn.

My weekend was expensive: Our irrigation system's distributor valve finally went out. Time to (finally) update to a modern setup.

And I'll tell Patrick this is where the cool kids hang out.

Y'all should know..Pat (with Jorg) won the dang thing, and finished fifth overall!

All that stuff Patrick said in the magazine about being patient must be truth..

EDIT: Removed the italics from the word "fifth" and added them to the word "overall", because that was a nice piece of work in a GT car.

Pat has always seemed like a swell guy, pretty easy to root for. Too bad he's teamed with Jorg. I lost what little respect I had for him after he ran Jan to the wall, causing him to wreck hard at Laguna Seca last year. A dangerous and classless move, total Robert Costas in my book.
