    You never know.....

    .....what you had until it's gone!
    I miss racing and I miss ALL you disfunctional f@%&s! YES, even Glenn and Matt. :P
    As some of you know and others have figured out, I started flying full time again.
    I had a really good job opportunity arise which landed me as the chief pilot of an Austin flight department which has a Citation, a 182, a mechanic and another pilot/contract pilots. Unfortunately it also came with much less free time. I already missed one race and I am scheduled to miss the next. Lucky for Eric and Todd! :lol: I didnt want to say much because I was hopeful I would make enough races to have a run at the Championship, but now I am very certain that I will not be a contender.
    I enjoyed the race writeup and all I can say is I hope ya'll can catch Eric and give him a good run this year. You all are getting very fast and I can only hope that I can keep up when I get back out there. No I will not be selling the car (yet). I believe that I will have some freedom soon that will allow me to take some time off for racing as I get settled in my new role. The airplane may be "broken" alot during race weekends. Lisa and the kids and Charlie send their best!
    I guess this will give me an excuse to throw an engine in the Musterd and show ya'll what an AI powered CMC car can do.
    See you guys asap
    Later

    Congratulations! Life is full of yin and yang, but it's like Tom Robbins once said: "the great thing about scrambled eggs is they're always sunnyside up."

    Good luck.

    Congrats about the full-time gig Corey. Flying, much like racing, is a passion that you get paid to do... most people only wish to be that lucky.

    CR,

    Radios are often maintenance items - can't fly without them right?

    NORDO - works every time.

    Life certainly does get in the way, sometimes, eh?

    Windows of oppurtunity will open up.

    Seriously, congratz!!!!!

    Downside is that the GM boyz are running amuck. We need more Pony cars to help turn the tide!!!!

    Ironic ;that when you can afford to race you dont have time, and when you have time, you cant afford it.
    I will try to get some seat time when I am not flying and see if can keep my lap times somewhere near Burchs??? Near like within a few seconds.
