That's probably about right, but, then again, they get to turn them in when they're done using them up!!
The other guys kinda chided me into doing the drags part of the course to try to get even with what I did to them on the road race part. Never go after an old formula car racer in a Boxster S!! I know how to drive mid-engined cars.
I do stand by my time slips, the fastest run (I did) was the one shifting at 6200. That's no proof that I may have also got the best launch on that run, don't know, I'm not a drag racer.
