+1 never follow one too closely, just a matter of time before they blow. Sometimes your lucky and get a smoke signal first.

It was only meant in fun, don't get excited. And I am sorry I only have 72 post, I like reading, oh and by the way the "good driver" better be able to turn a 1:30 or better at Barbers to keep up with that guy.

- Viper drovers hate Barbie car drovers because Barbie cars don't blow as many engines.
- Barbie car drovers hate Aero Beetle drovers because Beetles don't blow that many engines.
- Aero Beetle drovers hate Fiat drovers, because Fiats are pretty, sound awesome, and they are inexplicably faster... and they don't blow engines, clutches or transmissions, at all.

The first 2 points I agree with. Still look forward to see you drive an entire event, every session of every day in anger and see the Fiat survive.

We are very serious about our Porsches around here;-) 1:30 should be doable, he's easy 10 seconds of the pace.

Agree! Not a great tree to bark up. Unless you have a Cup Car. And Barber is his home track.


Dave , is that the same car that is now blue with a sequential? Running NARRA this year? Still waiting on you guys to bring the fight to Stout and them. Been looking forward to that battle.

No, the blue car is a customer car we built that has the paddle shift that we developed. As far as NARRA we are getting the old girl ready to go to Sebring for Winterfest with PBOC and go to Texas with NARRA in February.

I watched it because I always like to see how other drivers in different cars attack Barbers who know how to drive well. I am always looking for an edge what ever car it is.
