You guys are making a big deal out of nothing. A930Rocket "over-estimated" this engine's power.
Its only 431 at the rear wheels - long way from 500...
The Red Dragon part is true though - it shoots some serious flames!

My buddy Dale is at VIR today on the Grand Course and he just called and said it isn't that fun. He said in a 30 minute session you only get about 5-6 laps. He said its alot of work and kinda slow.
He said that everybody that is there at the event wants to switch and run the full course.

Last time I checked, your 431 rwhp was more than my 350 rwhp....
And your 2400 lb car weighed less than my 2950 lb car....
This time, you really will lap me! LOL

All that horsepower (or lack of) won't make me any faster....
I'll just be there for the fun.... And to watch my mentor, Brian.

I am at the track with Jeff Curtis as far as I know. Jeff made the reservations (I hope).I am bringing the grill again for those who want to grill lunch rather than eat the track food.
