Fastest single lap is BS. Let's see who can do the most laps in 45 min, or, one DE session. Traffic will equal everything out...

I just wonder why he need to pick on cars that cost $100K+ less, than his.

Y'know, I have never driven that Ferrari, but I am pretty confident that, on decent rubber, this restaurant name in St Bart's that I visited would appropriately describe what would happen...

Please put this together, I'd love to see it. I like points for the overall fastest lap and points for the fastest over a lap session. Why not do both?

I would certainly be game for coming to see this, and maybe bringing my car too and bringing a TTU lap record back with me. If there are enough people signed up for TTU I will consider donating a set of my lightly used Hoosier A6 to the cause for Peter to drive on (given that I would win some more).

The Scud is a rocket, far quicker then any Gt3's I have seen, plus the beauty of the Scud is..with all the clever aero thru and chaneled under the car vs. the higher drag wings we have. Scud has massive down force by creating the low pressure area undercar.

So it does use less hp to go fast vs. our cars.

So a race for fun sounds like fun, wish I lived closer to you guys, oh well

I do think that, if this happens, someone not involved should drive both cars. Doesn't matter who it is, but it should not be NJ-GT or Randy or Peter, etc. Gotta keep the wager honest...

I like it mano e mano in their own cars. Nothing like smack talk when you are the one who has to back it up. Then they can have a remix at Monticello or NJMP (whatever Rad's home track is) and see what's up.

But all the fun is in the guys who talk the smack doing the driving.

They can split some coaching in the meantime, but hiring a pro to drive the cars would take all of the fun out of it IMO. The drivers/cars seem to be close enough where it's a drivers race.

Rad, bring some Fireball (I mean Ferrari) brothers with you to back you up!

As Doc Holliday said... "I'm your huckleberry"

I knew there was a reason I didnt sell my RS.

When is this fiasco happening?

I'll participate in the challenge if need be. Every situation needs a wildcard....

I see your point. My concern is safety, i.e., either/both of them overdriving to "win" and making a big mistake at a track that rarely tolerates small mistakes....
