    H-o-l-y c-r-a-p!

    A Plymouth Fire Arrow? I thought that was like the basselope -- or the pink unicorn.

    Do they really exist?

    Seriously, can wait to see it.

    P.S. I race a TR8 so I'm not sure why I'm allowed to josh you......

    No, 2.6 I think, and it's a 4 right?

    I was trying to get the GCR but could not download it on the new comp. What is the 4L six in IT, AMC?

    That's the AMC Spirit in ITA, but it's actually a 4.2L Six. The 3.8L Chebby/Buick 6 from the Monza/Skyhawk is the closest 6 in displacement in IT. It's interesting to see some of the other cars listed in the back of the GCR I would have never expected to be in there. I had forgotten the Isuzu Stylus ever even existed. Anybody ever see a Stylus race in IT???

    Favorite tool to remove undercoating---- A curb!

    "Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."

    Bob Coffin is 69 and and you would never know it by being around him. His son Dr Mark Coffin will be there running against his dad in a F prod VW and the bonus is that several of Bob's buddies will be racing in the same group with their e-prod corvairs....bragging rights are on the line between the four of them. Bob will win as they all will DNF

    Came out of the gym today and there was a cherry Mustang II siting there. 5L V8, probably all of 140hp of it. Available with a four speed in 1976. Have to see if those are classed. Pinto chassis, could probably be made to work ok.

    Hi Matt - Is this the ex-Doug Smith ProIT championship winning car? Or the new car that was under construction at the time of his passing?

    I don't even have a clue what a "firearrow"is. But, anything's better than trying to keep up with Jeff and the assorted Z cars that are way fast now!

    See ya all there hope I get through turn 1 this time!

    Tuning the megasquirt on the new ITA Miata tomorrow. I have a "stock" spec miata ECU I can use if I don't finish tuning the M.S.
    My second ITA Miata is already loaded in the trailer and will have a new driver for this race.

    It is the championship car with a few tweeks and updates. The new car is coming along nicely and will possibly debut at the ARRC
