Hey, the Turismo's for sale. (just not ON sale) :rolleyes: "Proven R/U!" ;) (err, proven winner...) There's probably half a second in the thing if somebody bothered to work on it and spend a couple of bucks. I just choose to run it in bracket mode for the most part. Only reason it's for sale in the first place is that I can't afford a bigger truck & trailer combination to field two cars. (although I'll be doing the 'make two trips' stunt a couple more times this year to get both cars to the track, at closer venues) Throw a 19.5" tire on the front for gear ratio (or if you could make a 4.30 gearset), have Jim Bailey at Finished REM & Cryo all the transmission internals, and a couple other little tricks, and it would *fly*. I just have my hands full with the big car, that's all.

Tid bit of trivia: Didn't put gas in the Turismo all weekend. Think I used a jug and a half in the Volare. :eek: You can AFFORD to race the Turismo! :D You get great mileage towing such a light car, too. ...just sayin'!

Worst bulb of the weekend in the little car was an .042, and I knew I blew that one. The other .040 was from getting on the converter late - my bad.. Three 'teens, an .02x and an .03x. I'd say it's drivable!

While there are some challenges to slow cars, you can also turn your "disadvantage" into an advantage. I'll leave it at that for now....

Oh, Dennis or Artie, I've still got one 20x8-14 M/T slick with not too awful many runs on it.

Update: You can actually win a final round with a slow car, as long as it's not a FWD. ;)

Billy Nees won the Gamblers race at Beaver Springs yesterday. I swear you could almost detect a smile...

Michael, last weekend at Bowling Green, they had a really nice two car all aluminum open trailer, that just had Michael Beard written all over, it on display. :D
