He he ... no turbo, just a schrick and the Ur-q exhaust.   I know, It seems
a 200tq should catch a 4Kq quickly on a half mile straight. The secret is my
exit speed out of the corner leading to that straight.  I'll credit the coil
over kit & Koni inserts I got from Todd Candey.   My times (2'13") were
improved by nearly 12 seconds over a previous visit to the track.

By the way, for those of you who couldn't be there, you missed a cheap track
event . I had arranged the event through the track manager who quoted us $75
per car.  A couple of weeks prior to the event I called him again to confirm
and make arrangements for payment. He told me his representative would be
there at 9:00 a.m. to collect the fees and waivers. No one showed. We waited
a respectful amount of time, until nearly 4:30. In the meantime, out of
shear boredom we took a few laps. :-)
