M - The story turned out great, sorry it took so long to get out there. There's a drag event on the 23rd I believe at California Speedway that I will be running my G at finally, hopefully you can bring some cars out and we can party!

Talk to you soon.

Derek,

Very nice article Bob. Sorry to be late to the party, but have not been visiting the threads for a week or so. Going to run out and get my own copy right away. The article, as fine as it is, cannot do justice to the balance of quality and performance that your car brings to the street and to the track. It is always the best looking, best polished, best kept luxury rocket out there.
Congratulations!

Too bad they do not run the road course with the Roval. Always good to see them try to turn to the right.

Just got back.

They go about 182 where my car can go about 170.

Not to bad for a street car. They are so fast around that track, would be awesome though to see what kind of times they could run the Rolex course as we do?

1:55 or faster?

Under 2:00 is fast. Under 1:55 is really fast. Under 1:50 is screaming.
I think the 350Z Grand Am cars were doing times like 1:47. Of course we need to remember that to get under 1:55 on that type of road course you have a huge amount of driver skill involved. When you consider that the NASCAR platforms are what they are, and your car has Bose, A/C, leather, sound proofing, windshield washers and padded folding armrests, a back seat.........and is streetable....and the last time I was with you did a 1:53....not bad for a daily driver.

I know when I am done with suspension and wieght , cage out of my G, I will be less than 1:50 (hope). It just would be cool to compare their times to ours..

What do our cars do at Infineon? NASCAR?

Time.

hopefully in Nov, she is running strong and handling the humidity without any problems.

I just have to find somewhere to ship it to once I leave here since I will be driving the pathfinder back.
