HMMM! Unfortunately I can back that up. Steve didn't going blow by me, I
could never catch him nor would I even see him after a couple of laps. He
was the class of the field running 3 sec. a lap faster than 95% of the run
group and out running a cheater Turner. Mordy and I were a different story
as we had a great battle all weekend long with him passing me on the long
straights and me trying to pass him back in the infield. Great job to both
Steve and Mordy! Good clean - no contact racing.
See ya in Vegas!

Subject: Congrats to Steve Smith
> Congrats are in order to Steve Smith. This car and driver combo is
unbeatable. The throttle response on this car is something that makes mortal
man cry in desperate jealousy. He approached me from behind on the long
front strait at the California Speedway with such closing speed that I was
somewhat befuddled in awe. I was doing about 6800 r's with 3.45 rear end in
fourth gear at the time with 22.5" tire diam. You figure it out. I am
impressed. No TR can beat him. So, I tried my back up tires at 25" diam.
in a later practice session..No help. No joke. This guy has a screaming and
legal gt6 for the record books. And Kas is a witness.
