I need to stop by the shop. Congratulations, man. Your professionalism and attention to customer service will continue to serve you well. Exciting stuff.

Didn't get to try the Grapefruit as I'm waiting to have it on tap. Couple of people had it from a bottle, and lofty liquid accolades were heaped by all. It takes a village.

Per the owner this afternoon over a Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat, all lines are cleaned by an outside company every 14 days. They had bottles of Grapefruit Sculpin, keg wasn't cold yet.
-
I'll ask that question next time I'm in. They're getting some Grapefruit Sculpin in, and I want to try that. Been a Sculpin fan for years.

Stopped in for a pint yesterday. They have "Musk of the Minotaur" IPA on tap. If you're an India Pale Ale fan and you live near Grove City, it's worth stopping in for.

Place is called Hopyard 62. I stopped in for the first time yesterday and had a couple of beers talking with the co-owner Greg, who seems like a really nice guy who knows his beer. Place has 21 taps in frequent rotation, with a focus on Ohio beers. Good selection of styles. The owner of Grandpop's Hops was giving a talk on his efforts to revive the hop growing agricultural base of Ohio. They have some patio seating out front, but it was too damn hot to sip Pilsner while observing my fellow talking monkeys. If you're local and enjoy good beer, it's worth stopping in. http://www.hopyard62.com

Some great shots. Thanks for putting these up.

You're supposed to keep your eyes open during the pass? Why was I not informed of this?
-
13.46. Stalled the car at the line. Twice. Luckily for me, I have no concept of shame. First time at a track, had a really great time. Loved it.

Your tune today at DTM will help, but I'm still predicting at least one non-Special Education-sized bus.
-
I would love to see your Mustang make a pass.

How much is too much power for a street car?
FatHemiDude replied to noobiemcnooberson.'s topic in Passing Lane
My car puts down 436-434, which is by far the most powerful automobile I've driven. I'm going to have it tuned at DTM and be done. Hopefully come in at 450rwhp. It's a subjective thing involving a lot of variables. For me, 436 in a standard transmission car feels pretty strong, but I'm not a race car driver, amateur or otherwise. Seen plenty of cars put over 500 to the wheels and the owner will say the car has great street manners. I guess it boils down to your skill level and comfort level. Recently saw a ZL1 Camaro put 613 down, pre-tune. That's impressive, and quite frankly too much car for me personally. Before anyone posts a picture of RMS TITANIC, yes, I'm aware the Challenger platform is a large one. Even so, 450 for a car that gets driven on trips, etc. feels about right to me. A better driver, or at least a more aggressive one, might require more out of a DD. Takes a village. -
Agreed. That's your only chance. Either way a Mopar wins, and that just feels right, you know?

Should link to the YouTube of the baseline pull.

I would appreciate any contacts to a quality detailer as well. New car, would like it gone over. Claybar, etc.
