<<Who's in?? Which is going to win--racer or autocrosser???>>
Without hesitation, I'm IN. The kart track is a blast to drive. Many
run the whole course in third, others opt to drop back to second near the
start/finish turn to help them get back up to speed for the back
straights.Those cars with well prepped engines may be able to do the whole
course in 3rd.
I registrer for the Iowa fire and Ice time trials as soon as ICE sets
the date. Last year I dragged my parents along for the 340 mile one-way
trip -- the course is FUN. My Dad drove the #3 car for his first ever
autocross/road course experience, he had a great time and was ready to run
some more. I managed to eke out ftd from Bob Dunahugh -- betting that in
2005, Bob will out run me if I don't learn to drive better soon.
Warren LeVeque set the record for Corvairs at the first ICE time trial at
79.329. I expect Warren, Michael, Dunahugh and others to beat that mark --
the course is faster than in 1999. I think I'll place an early bet on Paul
Fox to win FTD. Just because.
