Pelli Today

Post by keith »

As usual, thanks to everyone who worked hard getting this event in the books...Jon, John, JY, Scott, etc...

Gotta say that I came away from this one pretty satisfied with my driving. The pro results won't show it, but I felt like maybe passed a bit of a barrier from my self/work imposed auto-x absence. Whatever the reason I did enjoy this event, and think I have found the "fun" again. Thanks ETR!

You didn't have to try beat a supercharged Mustang and a Corvette in your class....

...and John's car is probably a lot lighter than yours.

A good 90-91 prepped for STS should be able to get to around 2020 without doing anything crazy custom type stuff.
