Awesome!!! Do you mind me asking what that thing is making at the wheel? My friend is there with his M3. He said it was absolutely flying out there.

Congratulations on the win, but to give me a something to compare the time too, what does a 2012 Porsche cup do there or a WC car do it in? never driven there.

Congrats to Matt and Mike both... I know Jim really didn't want to see this car just sit and not be used. To have you get this car less than four weeks ago Matt, and then win the whole thing is pretty damned impressive. I knew t had a 1:55 in it, and I think we discussed that when you and I talked about you getting the car. But a 1:54??? Wonder if I can shoehorn Skeen into my V8 Datsun Zcar?!?!
