I brought my GS-R out to 3 Pros this year and was unsuccesful in
catching the Fiats. I do think that the GS-R can beat the Fiats but
mine is not yet up to the task. Mark Allen was very close in Ft.
Myers in his GS-R, but was eeked out. In Harrisburg Joe Graves
put up an admirable fight in his Ford Escort; should he ever
upgrade the nearly stock suspension I think he will have something
for the Fiats as well.

In response to miket's message regarding RE: Nationals entries,
dated 17 Aug 2000,:
Scott,
I agree. I think there are a number of "new" DSP cars that may be
able to compete with the x1/9s, such as the Prelude, maybe the
Neon,
Integra GSR???. It will be another year or more before many show
up
though.
I will be doing my best with my 1988 Grand Am with a Quad4 that I
have
been working on for a few year and had been running is ESP until it
was moved to DSP this year. I hope some others out there buld up
some
other cars and give the X1/9s a run!!!
Anyone out there have serious DSP plans for a Prelude or Neon???
