I hear you there, I like the fact that I can really push the
car and myself in a safer enviroment than the street.

Really? I'm up to running about with everyone else time wise
but what makes the ProSolo stuff so much more exciting?

I've heard so much about driving smoothly that combined with
a decent sped is really how to do well. After 2 events and
about 24 runs I'm learning but I still need more seat time.
I know I need better tires R compounds would be next on my list. :)

It's a blast for me, I don't see it fading anytme soon.

Thanks Randy, The Miata is a kick to drive. There is a Turbo MR2
that also runs and he is fast. I've heard people rag on the Mister
Two's but after seeing that car run I can't figure out why.
