When I raced my 2.2L FWD Turismo, the car got tons of attention. Casual at first: "Neat car. Where's the nitrous?" No nitrous. "Oh, turbo car." Nope. 2bbl carb. Boom, swarm of kids around the car, "How do you GO that fast?!"

Cars don't have to be fast or RWD to be fun to watch. *Close* racing is fun to watch, regardless. Larry Munk and I raced at the Dutch one year, and I swear we passed each other three times going down the track! It was like watching Fast & Furious, where we shift 8 times, hit the nitrous 3 times, and keep going faster. LOL

One of my buddies got down to the semis in a 32-car shootout they did Friday night for some of the slower cars at Pinks. He got beat by .017. Had a blast. And oh, BTW, he signed 8 autographs over the weekend alongside his mid 11-sec primered Chevy II.

Scott - welcome!
