>From the passenger seat, it seemed fast enough. There
was that one S curve by your place- I forget the speed
rating on the sign but I think that you took it around
70-80. You were shifting pretty hard. Remember, we had
just installed the Quaifed trans so I wasn't used to
being able to floor it around a turn like you were
doing. I remember you had me drive and you kept
telling me to nail it hard around another curve up
there. I kept on refusing, I was so scared. LOL
If you are passing through this way, email me offlist.
Maybe we can meet up again.
