[QUOTE=Flash68;500786]
I appreciate it, Momma, but if you look around our site, I have more safety items (on the car and on person) than 95% of those running. And I am adding more.... I'm serious about it and heading in the right direction.[\QUOTE]
99.8% of the cars on the site don't have your power to weight ratio and aren't capable of the level of grip.

And Gaetano is damn fast for a pretty simple setup. I think 140 on the straights that he can hit is enough to do cartwheels -- isn't any caliber of cartwheel bad on a track?
Personally I really like the spectacular cartwheels that the driver walks away from.

Come on out and play. The driver is the X factor no?

To a degree.......getting gapped 8-10 car lengths on the straight lap after lap makes it tough. The way I see it given enough laps is I'd have two reasonable chances against you. 1) You run out of fuel. 2) You run the rear tires to the cords.

Having a mental flashback to arcade days where the only way to keep up and win the racing game was to keep hitting the "NOS" button and hope you dont run out.

I left out option 3) Pull over in on escape road and wait, then pull out in front and block him like Big Wanda.
