Re: STR: S2000 vrs MX-5 thoughts?
The weight is the fear, the MX5 will have similar enough thrust to the S2k that it appears, on paper at least, that it will be faster... I'm also not so sure the Spyder won't be as fast if not faster than an S2k. And yes, there are lots of older cars that are sleepers. The old P-cars are just the be...

It's not perspective/lens trickery, the ST guys have finally figured out that Ken's car is 7/8ths and have built 6/8ths cars to try and beat him

Re: 2009 Wendover ProSolo
Now that the forecast is now so awesomely showing good chances of rain all weekend, can anybody offer any details on the surface? I'd guess that since it's an airport, it should drain well; any chance it's grooved? Big squares of concrete. I have no idea what it'll drain like, but porta-poties and ...

Re: 2009 Wendover ProSolo
I always take the 318. Sure it's only a 2 lane highway, but it's a nice drive and not really much (if any) longer than the 95. So I assume this means that you're coming Brian? Steve, I usually get gas at the Chevron in Alamo. No problem getting a semi in there as they have separate diesel pumps with...

But I saw the slow clock last year too, and maybe the year before that. Jay W When I was taught to be a starter I was told that you should start the clock 3-5 seconds after the cars left the line. But it is somewhat course dependent and the software does not allow for more than 2 cars on each cours...
