Hi All;
I too was at the motorplex Saturday. One of the SSs I raced was an LT-1 car that
was running in the 14.6-15.0 range (I ran a best ever 14.34@96.6mph). The LS-1
cars are very fast (I saw Gordon's new one run a 13.71). Of course, you could
get lucky if they miss a shift and the engine flies apart.
