Whatever tire/gas money you mention shall be waived, if the following becomes TRUE;

(Your raw finish position) < 13 AND < (My raw finish position)
...and he doesn't put it into the dirt. Remember, this is double the engine he's used to.... :)

Good morning,
I can't find the function that allows me to cancel or edit our entry for this event on the www.motorsportreg.com site; and I know it is too late anyway. Sara and I can not attend Saturday's event as we are leaving today to arrange and attend my father's funeral in Kentucky. He had been ill too long with Parkinson's Disease and his death last night was expected and an end to his suffering. Joe Sr. was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne, The Screaming Eagles. He told me, "son whatever you do, do not join the Army".

And double the weight.
Looks like; 787 more lbs, 92 more hp and 186 more ft lbs (torque).
Power to weight ratio: Miata 0.058. Mustang 0.073

Torque? Miata drivers think torque is one of those Canadian winter hats with the fuzzy ball on top.

Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
