Out for Ocean City and Maybe St. Clair....

Just can't get the 30ft tank over 73mph... I'll get lapped in class 4 and odds are smoked in class 5, so looks like were out until we find another 10mph in set-up, witch I don’t see happening.

I say run it anyway, and get some seat time in a race, sometimes speed is not a factor, you have to FINISH the race to win.
That's why we seldom test the day before a race, we come prepared and don't want to chance breaking before the race, we'd rather break IN the race

than get a DNS.

From: JERSEY,

I agree with Lee 100%. Everytime we've ever tested the day before, we broke...or I wound up in the hospital like SBI's NYC race 3 or 4 years ago. Hey Lee, WAZZUP?

Rick,
Gotta bring it to St. Clair if nothing else. The race is only part of a great weekend.
Augie/Lee, I think Rick would look fantastic in a yellow Corsa that'll easliy turn class 4 speeds...... for probably not much more $ than trying to squeeze 10 mph out of twins.....dontchathink?
