If the leader had only had 1/1000 of a pound less air in the RF he could have held him off!

That performance was really impressive. A long way from the slot cars of the sixties/seventies.

It is, BUT, you have a much smaller budget to work with.

My tire bill for the 99 on road nationals was something like $300 for the weekend.I finally decided that if I was gonna spend that kind of cash I wanted to feel the g forces.

Heh if it only worked that way. Well, sometimes it does. Other times you catch something and rip a corner off the chassis.
