    295 Hoosiers, just makes Mike P's drive all the more impressive.[/QUOTE]

    Who were the AIX cars? Times? Given the fact that ST1 group has sort of gone full retard with $350k Doug Rippie Corvettes with 550rwhp and sequential transmissions, Misty and I have tossed around the idea of coming back to Thunder in the AIX group...assuming there are folks to play with in the 3150# and 450-500rwhp range.
    Ah, fugg it.

    The AIX cars were S197 Boss Mustangs from Kansas City. Mike Montgomery has been converting his and James Strader's cars to AIX.

    I heard the guy that was not happy about our Shootout format packed up and left? The guy that said "I've been to Nationals and that is NOT how they do it". After driving that far he just left because we did not do things the way he wanted them done? Do I understand this correctly?

    The car pushes in several parts of the track, gotta drive around it and stay patient. Trailbraking deep really helps get the car turned in.

    Was it the inverting grid for qual races part? If so, I get that....just sayin'. The rest of the format seems spot on. Qual. Races for points. Points scored determines grid for final race.
    Ah, fugg it.

    We have been away for a while so not familiar with those folks or cars. Part of the reason I was throwing the idea out there and seeing if it snagged any interest. Maybe even run Nittos and have a fun series with power on crap tires and just put smiles on our faces without breaking the bank on purple crack and spending contests...
    Ah, fugg it.

    He didn't like the inverted grids, even though we had two flags (AIX/AI/SI and CMC)... oh well.
