    Ummm, actually, we have some real work to do for next year. The new record only stood for 1 day. During the Grand Bayou Race Series that Sat, the record was broken by a Formula Mazda:

    Formula Mazda
    David Stone 1:09.21 NEW OFFICIAL OUTRIGHT LAP RECORD FOR NPR GRAND BAYOU CIRCUIT
    Darryl Wills 1:09.432 -23.9 BETTER THAN PRIOR LAP RECORD
    Russell Walker 1:09.545 -34.5 BETTER THAN PRIOR LAP RECORD

    :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
    WTF?!?!?!?
    Franco, I guess we need to bring out the "Big Gun" next year. (You have Michael and Rubens on speed dial right?) LOL!

    Not by much. About 1 sec.


    <<<How about the 1997 Ferrari Formula 1 car which set a new track official track record of 1:10.2 on Friday (broken on Saturday).>>>

    Does anyone know lap times of other cars, and their highest speeds on the straights? Specifically the Enzo, CGT, and RGT? I'm curious as to how much slower they are in comparison to the F1 car.

    The Formula Mazda guys are very quick- go watch them at the end of the drag strip staightaway at turn one sometime. Pretty cool.

    NPR is a really tight track. An F1 car may not be the best thing out there since the speeds won't allow the aerodynamics to do their optimal work.

    Somebody needs to take a 328 drivetrain and mount it in a little Formula open wheeler. That should take the recoed for us! Pauls right. IMO, a 355 is probably the BEST Ferrari for that track. Anything from the 360 on up is really "too much" for it. I guess that's why I have so much fun running 9/10's in my 328.

    Dave, i think, with maybe a month's F1 training, you could beat the track record to a point where no one's gonna come by the next day and beat your record...
