congrats to rob "the huffmaster" for his performance at the arrc! qualified well below the track record and within a few HUNDRETHS of a second of the #1 its driver in the country. 1:39.1x.

and then he ran almost the entire race right on chet's bumper. the two cars seemed glued together at the top of the esses, lap after lap.
Yes, congrats to "huff" for a great drive. Chet mentioned to me he was a "really good shoe".

Not sure how many of you realize just how good Chet is though- had he driven flat out under pressure from Huff the whole time he would have wasted the tires and Huff would have won. An RX-7 isn't as hard on the rubbers as the BMW. Chet would have been "pacing" his competitors in the twisty bits where they weren't likely to pass in order to save tires whilst getting the normal run out of 5, 7, and 10b to win the straights. In a 20 lap single car time trial the RX-7 wins. That, my friends, is driving savvy.
