The comments about "20 miles" on the car are miss understood. It was clarified earlier he has 20 LAS VEGAS miles on the car after the move from California. He may be more experienced than some think.

Nitrous: Why not? No cheating there. Ferrari got traction control. No limits I say, run what ya brung.

Wrinkle wall slicks is his only hope, that will help equalize the traction control. No wrinkle wall slicks? He aint gotta chance.

Ron Scarboro says his GTR run's...

Pffftt, my ERA does a 100 mph in 7.98 seconds, on street tires, with a slow hole shot, uphill, on wet pavement. Lets race! Actually, that's true, I really have done a 100 mph in 7.98. What is also true is I'm not sure I WANT to race against a GTR, they are very impressive!

Twin Turbo FFR runs low 10 in Medford.
I was THERE that night, ran my ERA, as did several other Cobras. Traction was terrible, nobody could hook up worth a darn. WITH a decent track, that night, Twin Turbo would have been in the 9's, NO doubt in my mind.
He, like me, couldn't get decent traction until somewhere around 80-85 mph.
