Yes we are looking forward to Lincoln.The BS field is exceptional,8 from last years Nationals top 20 and the other 3 are likely just as fast.Should be a dog fight. Hope the weather improves up there.
Also hope we are successful at stopping the BS/CS merger...Beutzer in a Solstice is not a happy thought.

P.S. Signed up for Nats. The new site @ Lincoln, NE should be a hoot.

I think that the 370Z would make BS as course-dependent as SS is now.

Not that that is a bad thing, and I know that I'm getting really tired of running "speed maintenance" courses (which means tight and slow), which seem to be the rage the last few years. There have been exceptions, but they seem to be pretty rare.

Now the question lies, will the Nismo 370Z be allowed to come out and play, or will it get punished to AS

I appreciate the thought Jason but In my case, I think the driver needs work.

I wish my Dad had explained how this worked.

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill
My son Josh beat me at the Dixie Tour for a change and it seems lke I'm getting more laid back. I really believe the driver is the most important part of the Z/driver combo in competition.
