I'll disagree; the winner to this years' runoffs will be the torquiest car that handles halfway decently; Laguna is a very hilly start and stop kinda track. If a torquey car can get in front... :026:

if that is the case, that is not good. The turque cars were the ones that dominated the last run off. where and how are they load displacement car's supposed to win?

Marcus, no one seems to believe me that Laguna is a series of up hill dyno pulls, power to weight wins every time. If they'd scheduled it at Sear Point, that would be a horse of a different color. I fear you'll have to wait until the RO's get to Mid-O.

I believe you!
Hp and torque will be winners. Laguna is not a handling track. It's point and shoot with hills.
Sears or Thunderhill would be very different.

Already pursuing some, mostly Mee-Otters (though I am in discussions with a Honda guy). I'll keep you posted with what I come up with. - GA

Thanks, Greg. All things being equal, I'd be interested in the Honda guy...

I'll keep you posted, but I get first bite on that one...

What's $2K in tow gas? please... (NOT!) If so, just hope you are the only guy in your region out east that tows out and your region has a tow fund!

K,

there may be several competitive NASA Honda Challenge H2 honda swaps in California. I think H2 with engine swaps might be decent in STL.

You might check out some of the NASA forums.

It will be interesting to see how things play out in STU.

My opinion, awd turbo. Point and shoot.
