All wheel drive made a HUGE difference. The roads are crap out there. Chip coated junk. They lay down pea gravel and then tar over it. If I know Jeff, he won't sleep until he wins the event again. I think next year he might show up with an AWD twin turbo 81 Trans-Am. The wheels in his head were already turning on that project.

After looking at the results, it looks like braking was a problem for him as well.

They said his 0-60 time was 6.4 seconds. Something was off or bad timing. No way his car does it in 6.4.

maybe the crappy "chip sealed" roads had something to do with that too

Exactly, the faster you pass 60 the quicker you get to 200
