They found somewhere near four seconds at VIR since last season. Quite impressive.

I think that is right -- they ran a 2:12 or something?
Grafton, how fast has your 944S2 gone? I don't think Ricky has been under 2:15 yet, although I know he is still doing a lot of development work. Didn't Skeen get a ITR 325 in the 11s?

Our best at VIR is a 2'12.5. Ben hit a 2'12.7 at the March race, while Mark got the Acrua to 2'13.3. Mike Skeen ran a 2'10 in Moorefield's E36 BMW last year in qualifying (2'11.2 is his true, but not yet recorded lap record). We all have a lot of improvement to go it seems.

Itr
Skeen is my hero! He passed me in the up hill esses on that 2:10 lap.
I'd love to run against him there again: Makes me feel all inadequate. Maybe one day I'll be cool like him. (We have found some time since we raced him but only about half of what we need.)
(On a side note I think ITR is perfect except for one Mazda car that needs weight.)

Black Choppers What What
Might have something to do with it being the only car with an assumed negative power gain when built to IT spec. Or maybe that nasty gear box that is supposedly to weak to run a single race. Or it might be I don't like how it turned the "process" political.
Jake I know I lost the fight with that car, but I don't plan on stopping my complaining.
