Frank:
Noel's was a retainer. Not sure about Gary's. Mine was 100% pilot error. Have a line on another 3.2 that's an option depending on the extent of the damage to mine. It's dripping oil from the driver's side lower valve cover by #3 so there is definitely damage there.

Hi Dan:

The wing in my avatar is my old wing for NASA GTS 3, I have an even bigger Getty Design 50" EVO Wing for NASA this season. For PCA I'm running the 3.8 RS Wing as a prepared mod. Your right I'm running the car as a C2 prepared into G with ballest to make the weight of 3181 lbs. I ran "H" last season which was fine when there was 3 race groups but not when there were 2, H being the slowest class in the red group, I spent most of the time with 997 Cup Cars filling my mirrors.

I am very sorry to hear Mark, hope it is not as bad as you are imagining right now.

Gary and Fred I hear you loud and clear......
My goals with the new motor this season are to improve my best times by 2-3 sec. at the Clash.......
after that, I will hopefully work with a coach and data to shave a couple more for the next race......
Sound doable? Notice I am not talking about winning, but improving on my previous results.....
