Amazing. I imagine this link works for FOT mailings. Big file, but worth the
wait. By the way, I drove my Radical just like that (in my dreams).
Fantastic car. I'm not sure what my best time in GP4 with a really wicked
downforce prototype is, but it's nowhere near 6:55.

Hey Bill,
Since you used to have a Radical I know you will like this video.
"...A street legal Sports Prototype that not only doubles as a track day
toy...but is capable of smashing the Nurburgring track record for production
made automobiles...by 20 SECONDS!!!
Can you say "6:55 at Nurburgring" ?
I knew you could.
