The fast ones usually are sleepers, they desire the same exact thing as we do.
Then there are those on trailers...the local fast guy ran under 9 again in his
"new" car, another civic. He'll be to mid 9s by mid season, he was taking it
easy. I love it when those guys have a 'problem' and still run 11's,
sickening.

Amen brother. Power class was full of them last race, one BMW, one Nissan, and
the rest all VWs. Lots in the other classes too. I notice they usually have
staying power too, they hang in till the very end, or win. Tell Ben, there's a
MkII VR Golf up here that ran about the same as him, and that car's massaged.
(He beat a certain silver car) Whatever the hell Ben did, there may well be "a
replacement". Excellent.
