I was told that your are beautiful so here is a choice for you: you'll either have me in front of you on the track, or me staring at your "back" during the entire race. Take your time and don't worry you could decide at the last minute and even during the last lap! Looking forward to meeting you and your bro and to racing with you soon. Give my best to your parents. Ciao, Max <strong><em>Oy! Now I've got some REAL work to do! Haha. E.</em><strong></strong> Dear Tiff,

Max, We haven't met yet but be careful what you wish for. I can talk the talk and walk the walk, so I'm up for the gokart challenge anytime. I hope you don't embarass easily.... I have some REAL work to get back to, so you two behave, and I'll look forward to seeing you both on the track, I'm always up for a good laugh! -Tiff <em><strong>Tiff! Your presence classes up the joint. As you can see by our ramblings, neither Max or I embarrass too easily. I'm sure we'll be hearing from Max soon :-) See you on the track, Ethan</strong><em></em> Ethan,

I'm studying the track! just kidding I'm working on other things my friend. Thank God beating you is as easy as shooting on the red cross and therefore you are definitely not one of my concerns. Looking forward to hug you again outside of the track and to annihilate you on it.

The gauntlet has been thrown down! You Sir, will merely be a speed bump on my way to go-karting glory. As for Tiff and Cliff, I will let them answer for themselves. Prepare yourself for humiliation, and doom.
