No doubt, a look at all the exciting passing in the Busch Clash pretty much
says it all about the new rules...and how come the Busch GN division pole
sitter is faster than the Winston Cup pole sitter???!!! Geez, the day Indy
Lights are quicker than Indy, 'er CART, cars is the day I might not be quite
as much of a race fan-and I was trying to get excited about Winston Cup, what
with our new oval in Fontana and all :-(.

<snip>I heard that Bobby Unser once turned some pretty hot laps in a Sport
Quattro (not the Pike's Peak car) on one of our superspeed ways. Anyone know
the numbers or what track?<snip>

Don't recall the Sport q numbers. I do recall (a fuzzy recolection) a 200q at
Talladega turning something like 217. Slaab just did some pretty impressive
speed runs that were written about in a recent EC too. Guess it's time for a
tuned A8!!! I know, I know...not gonna happen, but it is nice to dream.
