Ok, so although there's a long, long history, as well as multiple rather entertaining stories on how this achievement finally came about, I've been told on more than one occasion, that I'm too "long winded".

Therefore, in a refreshing change of pace, I'll just keep this really sweet, short, and simple, by posting the following:

Now, in closing, I'm not naïve enough to believe I'll hang onto to this title for very long, but I'll relish in the 15min of lime light while I can.

Likewise, and although the "thank you" list is ever expanding, and (trying) to stick to my short posting.....

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the following for their involvement and inspiration respectively:

Mr. Dan Millen, owner of Livernois Motorsports & his entire staff, info found at:
www.livernoismotrosports.com  or by phone at: (313) 561-5500

Mr. Matthew Hencinski, owner of Finishline Cars, & his entire staff, info found at:
www.finishlinecars.com  or by phone at: (815) 556-1006

Mr. Jeff Liu, owner of HK Media Chicago, & his revolving partners, info found at:
www.hkmediachicago.com  or by phone at:  (630) 280-1670

All of my fellow SHO owners, of all Generations, including Zach Wright for keeping my developing old ass motivated in the true spirit of competition likewise.

Thank you and enjoy!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thanks guys. Truly appreciated & it seems like it took forever to achieve it.

I got myself up on drag times today, & apparently there's some voting thing, or something or other..... (idk cuz I didn't pay close attention) with all stuff I'm trying to get caught up on at home/work.

But here's the link for those interested:
