Nasty rumor. Why would I want to suck even more and drive against those who suck to some multiple?

Why would I want to give up the ability to spin at any moment? Really, now. Plus, I've been wondering this for a while... how come there are no blue ones? Are you guys commie pacifists?

Why would I consider giving up the excitement of OW for fenders and slower laps? Not to mention the (much) higher cost of damage...
Like this selling point "Adds up to 47 HP naturally aspirated, and 500 HP with nitrous oxide". Uh huh...I think the nitrous might have a little more to do with the HP bump

After our display in race#1 where 4 cars went nose to tail bumping into turn #1, you may have a point! It is nice without nose nipples and rear crash boxes though. We are basically good until we have the "big ones". Then we ping the limit with reckless abandon!
I figure I have another 5 months to soften you guys up before VIR in April!!!

Now THERE'S an idea for a Memorial (and it would definitely be a "Memorial"). Shouldn't be that hard to do, Doug-- mount with zip ties, and I am sure Watts has like 5 catalogs where you can get remote trigger activation cables and such..... further R & D is strongly advised!

Paul, Gary & Greg - so great to finally meet you guys. And if I could have only grown some balls (and ditched my little girly vagi) I would have loved to race with all of you guys!
Re: Who's Going to the Lime Rock Summer Series Finale?
The results are not yet posted on the Skippy site, so I am wondering whether many people were able to break the 1:00 mark at the finale weekend on the classic course. In June almost no one could. Did things change in October?

Re: Who's Going to the Lime Rock Summer Series Finale?
The cars were a bit faster with cooler temps making more power and cooler tires having a bit more grip. I believe there were a couple of times in the high 58's with a half dozen or so breaking into the 59's in each open wheel race. Still nothing like the times of a few years ago but better than July for sure.
