Mine is one turbo that for sure can't hang with you guys in the 500HP + club. Where's the damn slow turbo ghetto?

Tony,

The Turbo Ghetto will be divided into three sections depending on horsepower, so you might be with me.

Brian will be at the top of the ghetto with 900 hp.
Justin will be in the middle of the ghetto with 600 hp.
I will be at the bottom of the ghetto with 400 hp.

The good thing about the bottom is that you can only go up.

Awww, only 400 HP and 2700 lbs. I guess that you'll just be one of the rolling chicanes out there!

600hp is great. Especially if one is off in the woods at turn 14. I'll try to stay out of the grass this time.

It's a sad day when I don't even have enough hp to qualify for the 'Ghetto'.
If there's nothing lower I think I'll stay home (or go back to green group) with my measly 250 hp...

Hey Jerome,
You and I can hang in the Ghetto Wannabe barrio. The 250 Club.
My partner in TrackVIsion will be there with his genuine ghetto car.



Look for me in the Barrio [IF I get a spot in the event!]



Only claim to fame is having won a few races. Sad really, when what matters is bulk horsepower. Maybe the next car......


Late breaking news: I'm in. Just got the word. See you all there.

Where is this turbo ghetto being set up? Target locations?

Justin,

I hear that 600 hp and Jumbo Monster Mudders are a great combination for the woods

Look forward to seeing you there

Cool Tony. Hope you're running in black with me.

I won't be arriving until late Thrusday so I'll miss the trailer drop. Save me a spot in the 'Sub 250 barrio'...

Yeah, that white-over-blue paint scheme does look 'ghetto'...

Jerome,

if there's no space w/Tony you can hang out w/me in the sub 300 horsepower Normally Aspirated ghetto. Right now, it's a residency of 1. :-P

We usually set up to the left as you enter the paddock. About halfway between the tech shed and the false grid(?) on top of the hill.

250 blown hp against your 300 normally-aspirated??

Man, I feel more worthless each minute..

I think I'll just buy an old 912 or something and go hide in the corner....

If Tony and Jerome are in the 250 hp turbo ghetto . . . I'm in the 260 hp turbo ghetto.

Hope my car is ready by Thursday
