Throwing gasoline firmly on the fire, a fast sprite (1275) wasn't doing
1:23's at Waterford. A fast sprite with 948 does 1:23's (Bob Mason, last
time he was there a few years ago). A fast sprite (1275) does 1:18's at
waterford - both Dr. Jahamiak and Rick Cook were in the 18's this year.
Which is a competitive time for a full tilt GT-5 Mini, also.
I did 1:29's I think, this year, in my 948 Midget with the infamous L
section tires.
