I'm jealous!! ;-)  I was going to do it on Sunday, but instead got roped
into going up the course and using a radar gun to record top speeds on the
long straight between corners 7 and 8.  The F40 was the fastest clocking
over 130 consistently.  Next was a '78 (??) 930 Turbo that was up to 127,
then David Beddor in the CTR2 at 125, then Frank in the RUF Ultimate at 122.
The Sport Quattro topped out at 107...which was the fastest Audi.  Alex
Neckas had the second fastest Q at 101.  I'll post a full report soon.

Oh, sure, just go ahead and dis my gutless NA 20V.  Just cuz it has no
bottom end coming out of a corner ;-).  Just wait till next year when it
gets the 20vt treatment...err, actually I'm just gonna run the rally car
next year =).

cya!
