I must have missed that event too... I cant imagine an A-X course that "averages" 60mph... unless there were zero sub 40mph turns..
Lets re-check that math. can we?

The distance and time tells you that it was tight, we have run .8 tenths and .9 tenths of a mile in the same time as this one 52 seconds.
.9 miles / 52 seconds = .0173 miles per second x 3600 seconds/hr = 62.30 mph
A course of .8 miles same time would give 55.4 mph, which is probably closer to more realistic, and maybe on the borderline too fast side, IMO.

Lets take some funds... buy a decent mild build SP car..OR, an STX car.. keep it shod with old tires.. and THAT becomes the PRO CLASS ...
no more complaining about courses...
maybe a lil more than kidding.
C5 Corvette would be a good one or 350Z. Give em a mild STU prep....
Could be cool.
This year's pro champ can purchase the car with all of their winnings.
This would be cool, but how in the world would we get all our runs done efficiently? Also, there's like a spec class in autox now or something
Speaking of SSC, I drove Mark's(thanks again!!) car on one of my spare runs after the M3 fuel starved on James 3rd run. It had surprisingly less power than I expected. I kinda want to try a STX trim frsbrz though.

STX car is way better. Flatter powerband and the tires keep you in the powerband WAY better. If I launch where the STX folks launch, I bog. I hopped in Ray's car and was like .
...and the SSC car accelerates like an F1 car compared to the Spyder. At least people riding with me no longer to tell me to floor it when I have it floored.
