I've seen your Pace Car at Bristol several times this year racing in the DER Series.You race in the Trophy class with one of my friends.Not wanting to sound insulting becuase your car is nice, but I always thought that it was stock with maybe a cold air kit and exhaust from the times that you ran.

I pit up on the hill in the yearly rented spaces for the campers and trailers and have watched your car from there make 1/4 mile passes.You don't seem to have any trouble at the starting line and seem to hit all of your shifts and your car doesn't look like it has any issues going down the track from what I've seen.

If you would scan and post a timeslip so that people can see your 60', 330', 660' and MPH, 1000' and 1320' and MPH it would help to get an idea of what is going on during your passes.Have you ever used a weather station while racing at Bristol?They can give you some good real time info and corrected info as well as make predictions about what your car will run from round to round based on previous recorded information.

Have you ever let anyone else race your car at Bristol to see what kind of times they could run with it or to get their opinion on how it runs?I know that you've stated that you have previous dragracing experience with your Turbo Saturn but I know that I personally couldn't switch from the car that I race every week to another car with a different type of transmission and horsepower and torque curve and drive it as well, especially at Bristol with the uphill slope that it has on the starting line.
