How do you like your Cup?
Naturally-Aspirated: Or Turbocharged: For me the first paved part of the 2010 run with the NA Cup is positively orgasmic.

Evening Y'all
I was packing up the car for the trip to Seahawks tonight and in order to be copliant with Md. law I removed all the ammo from the cases that the guns are in. (it's a grey area there) and stuffed it all in my range bag. I found a pistol in my bag that I forgot I even had. I might just have a problem. Doubt I will be signing up for G.A anytime soon though.

Never made it down to that track. Any elevation change to it?

Yeah, it is a nice track I've had a few bikes there and the 944 back when I had it
No real elevation change. Should be fun in the jag, that bastard is actually quite nimble thank s to adaptive air suspension |

It is mostly flat but there are a few modest rises slight downhills. The main thing I remember is it is mostly 3rd & 4th gear curves. It is fun to floor it through a curve in 4th gear.

The straight is about 3/4mile.... the rest is gentle sweeping curves

The cup cars have sequential shifters.

No... It's a manual... Think like a motorcycle gear box.

And they are different (lighter and stronger) than PDK (dual clutch) boxes as well.

My view on V8s (crossplane like a 'Murican V8) is that they are awesome when there are only 2 booming V8s in the race, like ALMS. But when the whole field is 90 degree crank V8s I get annoyed. I couldn't stand a car that made that sound.
I'll take a field of only flat-6's, only inline-6's, or only 12 cylinder engines any day.
