I'm no hotshoe.  But Stacey Molleker is, and he runs in my region.  He runs
BFG, and I am on Kumhos (205s all around).  

Basically (usually), I suck.  But at the most recent event I trailed Stacey
by only 0.4 seconds on a 50 second course.  I was faster than Laura Molleker
by 0.16 seconds.  The Mollekers were driving their 1999 ACR Coupe, while I
was in my 1995 ACR sedan (I have an alignment (-2.5deg front, 0deg rear,
0toe everywhere), and an Amsoil filter -- no muffler change, nothing else at
all).


I really think they ARE competitive.  Or maybe I had the luckiest day of my
life :-)
