My .02 cents worth....
Waterford hills raceway in Michigan is a perfect example for Bob's idea.
I had my 10valve 90Q out there this fall which has a bone stock powerplant
and rather extensive suspension work done to it. I was able to keep up
with the turbo cars with no problems and found myself being somewhat
quicker through the tight stuff...  I couldn't quite keep up with PDQSHIP
in that M3 though.... :-)
