Re: October Fastrack

350z to STU? Why? Because Peters barely won STR in his? He got beat by STU by a solid 2 seconds, and this is Peters we're talking about. That doesn't seem like a good move to me.

I want to run a class with STX type rules. STX is the same ruleset as STR. Roughly speaking, STR is for two seater sports cars and STX is for 4+ seater sedans.

Also, certainly worth mentioning, David Barrish's 10 second improvement in X-runs. ;) Big thanks to GRA for all their hard work and two very fun courses. Mark...
