I hear ya, Im no stranger to auto crossing, and .5 seconds is a long 
time. I think its great he came in second. I hafta agree though, doesnt 
seem fruitful to sink $$ into a 4K for nationals. It has too many things 
against it that other cars are more suited to. (like not mushy stock 
suspensions....) But after all, he wast AT the nationals!! :)

PS, I doubt **I** could come in 2nd if there were only 3 people running! 
I guess thats why it sounded so amazing to me.  I remember how tough it 
was to squeek out wins at Can-Am and formula atlantics.. and now Im 
learning (now that I have my Pro Rally license) that if we were .5 sec 
ahead of second place, we would be rich and famous!
Bruno look out!
