Most of these vehicles are heavily modified. The Mallett Corvettes are
supercharged and putting out over 650hp. Myself and several others will be
at Road Atlanta Friday am to see the group run, there are over 100 entrants
with all types of cars and trucks. Worth a trip if you are close to any of
the tracks. Check out the schedule at <http://www.onelapofamerica.com/>
Hopefully Road Atlanta will let us watch them run, got an Atlanta
connection checking in to it. Starts at about 8:30am.
