I'm pretty sure we can share a room as Amy will be there. At least thats the plan.

I just read an article in Car and Driver about the new 2007 car and was suprised at all the improvements they have with the new engine but such a small gain in horsepower. I have a feeling that the computer was set for increased gas milage so maybe some gains can be made just thru the computer alone. If they increased compression then there has to be more power unless they killed it with the computer.
Did you see the Playboy car up close? Why do I see wheel rims protruding out so far from what look like Hoosiers? Most Hoosiers for SCCA racing are more cantilevered. Bob

Sounds good Bob. Not sure about the rims. I did see the car up close. I know Hoosiers are the spec tire for the series. Here is a shot of the rear.
