2:22 on the Watkins Glen long course is a good lap for a vintage spec
Spridget, but to put it in perspective, my 948 Sprite set the lap record at a
2:22 back in 1984. Dan Collishaw's 948 Sprite owns the lap record these days
with a 2:17.5. My times were pre-inner loop, but that doesn't slow good
handling small bore cars very much. Momentum is the key. You don't need as
much torque if you don't slow down!

Re: [Spridgets] Collier Cup at the Glen
Okay, to be fair, Munoz's V8 was just
barely finished up and certainly not
sorted. Perhaps he was also holding back
on a brand new engine, although
that's a lot of restraint when you're 10 car
lengths behind a Spridget and
your hood looks like the snorkel on a greaser's
Chevelle on Friday night
behind the Dairy Queen. He's considered a pretty good
driver and Guest is
considered VERY good...but still. I like the nitrous idea.
