Jon and Nicole were first in 135mph in a 997
Hermina and I came second in 120mph in a 996
Jim and Claude were second in 115mph in a 964 Turbo.
Out of the three Ferraris, one came second in 105mph.
The sole Lamborghini placed sixth in 135mph.
I'm just sayin...

Sorry - I guess I typed too soon. It's just that Richard (the Saturn driver) is a good guy, and I like the way he doesn't worry about being "outclassed". Maybe you can come up from Vegas for the September race.

- Average 130-150, max 165: add rollbar and fireproof suits
- Average 160 and up: add full cage, fire system and fuel cell.
In practical terms this means that an average speed of 150mph is the limit for a typical road car. For details, see the rules at www.sscc.us
In terms of the car, I'm not sure whether a stock 996 could achieve 150mph average with me at the wheel - particularly at an altitude of 6500 feet. However, we plan to step up to 135 in September and see where we go from there.
