Fellow Listers:

This upcoming Saturday, June 13th, the Brookings, SD, car club will 
conduct time trials at the airport.  I plan to take our Plus 8 down 
there and see how it will do.

Our car is a 1987 and is bone-stock as far as the engine/drivetrain is 
concerned.  So, it should be fun to see what it will do - not that I 
have the necessary personal skill to get the best performance out of 
this car.  One book I have says the 1987 versions are supposed to do the 
0-60 mph in 5.3 or 5.4 seconds.

These time trials are solo runs, 660' in length, they have a starting 
"tree" and will be electronically timed by Daktronics.  We all get at 
least 4 runs, possibly more, so maybe I can do a decent job on one of 
them.  Street cars that are not modified are considered to be quite fast 
if they hit 80 mph within this 1/8th of a mile distance.  The "hot" cars 
should top 120 mph.

Later,

Arlo Levisen, Revillo, SD  '87 Plus 8
