We will have to get together on a bigger auto-X course bigger than Langley Speedway. I think the smart car tops out at 50MPH, on the straight away it won't be able to keep up with us, I hope. :lol1:

I think my major problem compared to him was wheel base in some of the slaloms...where it seemed like we just fit in between the cones, he looked like he had 3 car lengths to play with...it also appeared by the class he was in, he had done it before, and I was trying to avoid killing cones.

I had a great time with the NCM full course for 2 days at VIR! 3.27 mile road course early in July 2007. The old 97’ does just fine on a road course with Hoosiers and my right foot. Was pointed by MANY times and passed a lot of C6ZO6s in the straights and hung with many in the corners……stock F45 suspension to boot…….160+MPH in the straights and 105+ in the climbing ssssssssss. 97’ did fine as I dogged the **** out of it for 2 days. All on pump gas. Got about 8 MPG and put over 180 track miles on it! Got the oil to 325 & trans to 274 in 90+ heat………….then drag raced it the next few weekend and took the R/U spot without a hitch running low 11s in 90+ degree heat. Man I love this car!!!!!!!!!

Says the person with Road Race experience...I am getting close, but as soon as I get a really good grasp of handling the car in a straight line and knowing exactly what the car is trying to tell me, then you and Steve will be starting on the road courses but still had a blast, didn't ya?
