> [@neurokinetik](#): > > Meh, I beat his raw time and his PAX time… 😛 > > Oh, and his tires were already pretty much shot at Xerox the week before, I think he was struggling all day because of that. Yeah, he was using 2 of his tires from Xerox, and 2 that he had lying around, but they were corded so he wanted those in the back, so he had his tires staggered the wrong way. That’s why he gave up and hopped into Todd’s car. Oh and Bret, i guess we both suck (well me more than you yesterday) because after still not catching your time, i got annoyed and hopped into Vogel’s SE-R and did 3 runs, all being pretty obnoxious, and ended up being a tenth off of Bucknam’s time, so feeling better about myself for doing that on Victoracers I hopped back into the MR2 and did a 46.8 (yes i did have 2 cones, but they were both rear tire nicks) and that was on hot tires since Jon had just done a run. So I figure we should have been in the low 46’s. But congrats on beating me in 2 less runs anyways. :banghead: cause I got:whip: ---

It is 200lbs lighter than the RSX, but down on power. Oh well, not for me to find out, though, as of a few hours ago, the red Spec V is giggidy-giggidy-gone. 👋 As for your time in the MR2, I had no doubt that I left a significant amount of time out there, there were a few places on that course where I did not want to keep my foot planted due to running right at light poles. It’s been a fun season though, and I think our battle as well as Mark vs. Dale was closer than most people expected. I’m hoping I can convince some people to step it up in ES next year. ---

Yeah, but doesn’t have a lot more torque? It’s gotta be ruff on the Hoosiers though. Like I said, I was being pretty obnoxious with the car just keeping my foot in it, and the tires grew 6 PSI in the front after my 1st run. Good thing the Victos like heat. I don’t know, for whatever reason I’ve always had a soft spot for them, but for some reason a Type R just seemed like a more practicle winter car. It is a hatchback after all 🙂 . ---
