it must be quite a sight... ive ridden with andy 'playstation' mckee many
times, and it is really hard to imagine a whole class of people that fast!
what happened to the cobra? hopefully we get a few of the new imposters up
there next year to give him some trouble.
the BSP guys from sac are something too- i rode in one of those cars (a C4)
it was the most awesome autocross car i have been in. despite being as big
as a house. (but as powerful as a locomotive)
poor mike l. must be suffering from insufficient local competition! maybe i
can convince barry g. to come out in the AM car again.
