Re: Post Malabu Grand Prix report.... SD style..
Malibu was a good warm up, but I had a yellow car and I must have
looked like Ralph Schumacher, as it was a bitch to keep the back end
from getting away. :)
I told Potterman to take the red one (Ferrari), but it did'nt seem to
work well for him.
As for Meze, he had the home track advantage. ;)
As for the Solo II Auto-X, Shawns car was a blast to drive, great 2nd
gear accelleration. Keeping in mind I have only Auto-X'd on 2 other
occassions, as Shawn said I improved over 12 seconds between 1st and
4th run, and did NOT finish last in the DSP class.
I also had the pleasure of driving Pottermans car. Ran like a raped
ape. I had 0 none, nada, in car time it when I was at the starting
grid. Off I went, had a hell of a time finding second gear, but ran a
72.4 lap which was better than my 75.2 in Shawns car. Then on my
second run with Mike in the car I got sideways near the finish, and
managed to still improve with a 72.1. Not bad considering I had never
driven the car before the race.

Sure, blame me, but remeber I went easy on your tires...
Also, I can vouch Shawn's car does 130mph without out even breathing
too hard.
You know what they say about balding guys though right? It's from the
wild ladies who keep our heads rubbing on the headboard at night...<G>
