I honestly don't know Fred. I didn't have a data system until after the WG CR

Pretty sure it's real fast though . . .

I would say Streak has to be approaching the sound barrier at that point!

I'm looking forward to meeting you all one day... Maybe Watkins Glen? Streak, Good Hands- I'll be another entry in the Red Carrera Cup!

Back at you Astroman.

That reminds me that I've got another championship to add to my sig. I know it's early in the season but I'm confident.

Back at you.

We'll definitely be at the Glen.

We will also be at Sebring. If you can't find us in the paddock just look for us on the podium.

I have some 225-45-15s I am going to mount on 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs to try out. Just need to pick up the tires.

Jack, come to the Glen this year. We will all be there for Round 1 of the Mason-Dixon Challenge that pits the NE boys against the Mid Atlantic boys in D and E. We may have to add balast to Streak's car to make it fair for the CT boys

You got it all wrong... It was then an e-prepared just like yours. Put small tires and you'll experience the very same. I assume you are running a nitro kit, gear 3.5, and unobtainium-made t-bars just like I am.

Woooo. I thought limerock was going to be event 1. If Summit (what a snake pit that track is) is on the list, so should LRP no? WG and NJMP are neutral territory....

I am planning on LR. I'd like to do the DE on Thursday to learn the track but not sure it's worth the $$ to set up a different muffler system for one day .

The real question is... What's the points formula for the mason dixon challenge? and how much cash are we all putting in the pot to begin with?
