    Zolt, that's not the right attitude to have! Cheer up and have fun.

    This is the only race that I will attempt to guess at, so I'd have to put my $1 on professor Wittel who may put on a clinic on how it’s done this year again. Would love to see a good ITS race however, with as many non german cars finishing up front as possible.

    We'll see how Chet does in the ProIT. Not sure if he is going to be running the ARRC sprint this year or not.

    Watch out for a couple 325is guys from Pittsburgh. They've showed people at MidO, BeaveRun and Watkins Glen that they are as fast as the fastest. If they can learn the Rd Atl tricks they'll be contenders.

    While a win may be a little much to ask for, a couple non-Bimmers to watch are Leverone in an RX-7 and Williams in a 240Z.

    Never know, Andy....the front row at the Petit LeMans showed you CAN take out three cars in the first turn of a 1000 mile race, so maybe Nick could benefit from the same aggresion!

    Agreed though, that if the sharp end of the E36 contingant does NOT take themselves out in the first corner, it will be tough to hang with that kind of torque coming onto the straight, not to mention the top end speed.

    BMW torque going up the hill and out of 7 onto the back straight is a big help at RA.

    AB,
    I just saw a rx7 run nelson ledges @1:14.4 this weekend and huffmaster said he is running arrc. Nick turned 1:16.3 if I remember. If he was legal....? I wouldn&#39;t know what to look for in a illegal rx7.

    If Sylvain Tremblay was legal when he raced the arrc a few years ago(which i know he was because he was tore down many times) then i am sure my car will be legal also. i look foward to a good race.

    The car is only rated at 185hp stock and providing no funny Euro cams are installed won&#39;t be a killer. In fact, 185hp is only a couple different than the other favorite overdog here, the BMW, which is classed.

    Take a look at the listing in the GCR - see anything wrong? Besides, it&#39;s the MB version of the E30 M3...
