furball... no need.  All you really have to do is check the track records for production cars and compare lap times.   I like the lotus... neat little car but...  The course better be REAL short for the lotus to win.

A bunch of us V8 healey guys got beat in an autocross by 4 cyl sprites..  our best V8 time was at least a second off (34 vs 33)the best sprite time and a 4 banger trailer queen healey beat us all with race tires... no V8 guy could get out of first gear on the track... no straight was longer than about 60 feet.

Furball:  Some American "language" for you.

"Track" = Road Course - 1-3 miles in length, multiple turns, etc.

"Strip" = Drag Strip - 1/8 or 1/4 mile racing.  Straight line.

"Oval" = NASCAR - 3 - 4 turns, high speed.

At least thats how I think of it.

ahh i see! thx for that Saurdaukar!

just uploading 3 videoclips to Vipermann's FTP, they are really good.  Especially the McLaren F1 clip - its nine and a half minutes long and tells you all about production etc. then they take it onto the racetrack.

Just watch the 24 hours of Le Mans if you want to see Vipers beating the pants off all sorts of eurotrash.

Furball the Audis are in the prototype class for pure racing cars. ("LM" P 900)

The Viper regularly dominates the production based classes.

230th ave. that turns into 246th, that eventually runs into the Old Buckley highway.  I've certainly been on better curvey roads, but for something that is "on the way to the store, just off the beaten path", its great! :)
