    Really???? OK, so, really, want me to call my buddy Scott at king and have him talk Joey (moser) into a Lime Rock race? Bring the ARRC prep package?

    Who are you putting the money on, Joey or a Miata?

    Ah, see this is where you go astray. Joey vs a Miata; not CRX vs a Miata. At LRP with equally talented drivers, I'd take the meoter if the driver can resist the wrecking nature of the beast.

    I'd love to see Joey, Sr., Ajah and Andy at LRP.

    Andy needs to come to IT Fest. I'll (probably) be there. Mosers will be there. /discussion

    But I still think there's a good 10 different chassis in ITA that can win. Some just need the level of driver, preperation, and money put into one that the usual suspects have seen.

    Andy's home track of Limerock is different how?

    Point being, bring it to one of the big events where the best are racing. ARRC would be even better, but I'll be the first person to admit it's more of a power track than a handling track. Mid Ohio's the opposite - it greatly favors well balanced, great handling, well driven cars over anything else.

    It's difference since this was being discussed and debated.

    I don't think anything FWD is gonna beat an equal prep/drive/setup Miata at Lime Rock or Roebling

    You got to hand it to Kevin in that he doesn't just make a blanket statement that one car is THE CAR in ITA. The driver and his ability at a certain track has a huge influence. I think that the miata is starting to gain some as more are coming back to "A". If you can string a couple of them together and the drivers are top level, the draft helps. But true to Kevin's words, there are several cars that can win in "A".

    Kevin, you really need to come to Roebling in two weeks...I would love to hear your assessment of that track. Should only be about a 20 hour pull for you, but what do you care....you have a chauffeurCB
