Congratulations, Wally! Damn, you put it off to the close to the last session, that added to the suspense!

BTW, congrats on the race wins, too!

Thats a shame....you should go there...you'll love it !!!

Yes 59's are FAST for an ST2 car....I think this will be the norm soon with at least 3 cars that I know of capable, 2 of which have already done this. There maybe more. I really believe that they will be going faster than 59's REAL soon.

Development and evolution of these ST cars and the new records that will pursue are exciting.

I just wish that I could get my car out there early in the year when the track conditions are better than late July....

Danny,

I agree with those statements and would not be surprised to see TTS lap records falling into the :57-58's in 2011. I fully expect the TTA lap records to go down into the 2:02-2:03's easily this year as well.

Its on my list this year. Once my car is done we will see how much is left in the budget for events. I need to go to an event where you will be there to show me the line!

Edit to the above post......The TTA and soon to be PTA cars times recently have been real suprising.also...Hopefully the extra weight of those cages dont hurt their performance too much...Interested in seeing just how fast stockish cars can go !!
