I actually tend to agree with you. I wanted to play in P3, but the Talon doesn't
fit the P3 marketing profile, so we got put in P2.
That's really a mixed blessing. It's very, very good to have a place to play in
a P class, but I'm not real happy about racing CSP cars. I think we can take the
M3, but a CRX? A car 1000lbs lighter? Urk.
And the RX-7 is a good car too. The fact that it's a Stock RX-7 helps, but Stock
RX-7s are still pretty dammed quick.
The way we see it, we're going to work as hard as we can, do our best, and
prepare the car as best we can, and see what happens. We may suprise everyone -
or we may get whalloped. I think I can take you in straight line, but you've got
the corners - except maybe big sweepers.
Unless it rains..... :)

Me too. If nothing else, this is going to be a _very_ interesting class, and I
suspect that it will wind up being the "showcase class" for ProSolo.
One thing that I've kinda resigned myself to is that we're gonna get clobbered
in Florida. It'll be my first race of the season, the car is completely new, and
it won't be fully prepared. :(
We may have something for you by the end of the season though.
