We have an exciting twofer on the test track for Saturday. We'll be taking the FL5 Civic Type R for official lap times, and we also have a fun little friend in the trailer. Any guesses?

Wow that would be awesome, but, no. 

What we have is still pretty cool, though. Kind of in the same genre.

Is that why I heard scratching from the trailer? I thought it was a duck.

I'm guessing this is the twofer.   An exercise in same/same, same/different, or different/different.  Could be interesting!

Nah we got rained out on Integra week. Between private rentals at the FIRM and crappy weather on the one day we would have been able to sneak in, it didn't happen. We asked to have our quarter put back on that machine, though.

Okay, do you guys want me to just tell you?

Some detectives you are. I thought that tow strap cover would have given it away.

It's not ours, so you can get the ND record back some day. We borrowed it from a little Miata shop down the street. wink
