we just got done at road america and i am happy to report that we did much better. we ran in the first group which is the fastest cars. we passed the davia porsche that started in front of us. so we are pretty sure we finished near the top. we might have even taken a first place at road america.
we still have a lot of catch up to play but this event is a marathon and not a sprint. and if we continue to have more top finishes i think we can get back near the top before its all over.
they are headed to mid-america now (near omaha) where they run tomorrow morning.
also, the vanishing point charger is likely out of the event after a brush with the wall - bummer! kowalski is ok but the white challenger didnt fare so well.

Damn! Well, DRIVER means alot. I certainly don't know crap abt RR. But I do know straight line acceleration...in the Dragster weather 1000 SC or 5000HP TAD you have to get "CALM to go FAST"... Def. know what you mean abt. the "jitters" its tough, you wanna do so damn well as a competitor. WE ALL KNOW THE CAR IS THERE...I'm sure things will come together and the ACR Viper will stand proud. Good luck, thanks.
