Here's the tally since the M3 moved to E/SP:

In 3 Pro Solos:
E/SP
    San Bern.        M3s take 1st & 2nd
    Lemore            M3s take 1st & 2nd
    Peru                  M3  takes 1st
    Ave. margin of victory vs. nearest non-m3: 1.5 seconds.
L2
    San Bern        M3 takes 1st and Challenge win
    Lemore           M3 takes 1st and Challenge win
    Peru                M3 takes 1st and Challenge win

Obviously, the Tunnells' superior driving is a big factor,
but the overwhelming dominance of the M3 certainly
stands out.  Bob T. has tied or beaten B/SP at every Pro
so far.  (D. Popp beat Bob by hundredths at Peru but
Bob T. was mailing it in after his Saturday a.m. runs.)
He also beat C/SP by 1.6 seconds at Peru - and that
class wasn't soft.

you competing in E _Street Prepared_? Haven't you lightened
your car to the limits of the SP rules?
