ORR DAWG MODS....was; Re: [DeTomaso] Stoker kit??

[John Bentley (jab)]

Mike brings up a good point.......the DaWg left his car on the trailer?
Wotz up with that?  I though I was the only guy getting good at just
towing.

Bottom-line on the ORR thing Mike, is you have to actually do it to tell
me its easy.  Follow me.  It'll be fun.

Hahahahahaha

>>>Yeah, it is kind of ironic--kind of like MD talking about driving his
car 
(which, unlike mine, is capable of safe and successful locomotion over a

distance) and yet bringing it to Vegas on a trailer--and keeping it
there the 
entire weekend! :>)

>Hey Mike, when was the last time you drive your Pantera in an ORR?
Even
"I" have driven (and even finished) in one since you have.  Last I
checked I had to turn the wheel too.....  Come on out to Pony or the
B-100 and test your wheel turning skills. >>

>>>Remember, I have logged more time at triple-digit speeds in ONE day
in 
Europe than you guys will log in an entire year of ORR racing.  Not in
my 
Pantera, I admit.  But I know from high speed driving over open roads,
and it is 
INFINITELY easier than even the most modest open track or autocross.

In fact, they had to introduce the whole knat's-ass
timing-to-the-nanosecond 
thing to make it even slightly challenging--otherwise it is just another
drive 
across the desert for most people (I admit the 150+mph club might have
to do 
a little work from time to time....)

Come on out and exercise your car at the track, work up a good sweat
turning 
the wheel and pushing the pedals--it's good for you! :>)

Mike (might be coaxed to run an ORR someday, after several years already

spent as a spectator and course worker there...once I'm too old and
feeble to 
really DRIVE a car anymore) :>)
