At the Lemoore Pro-Solo we weighted my car 3415# w/o driver. the 400lb
difference between my 96 Camaro and Bob's BMW was all on the Two front
wheels of the Camaro with a full fuel load and the battery at the rear.
The BMW's just have great handling. It's becoming very obvious that as a
minimum the M-3's should be moved to BSP. Marcus has put together a fairly
good analysis of the BMW's prior performance and sent it with a letter to
the SEB and Howard Ducan. By the time Nationals are over the decision
should be an easy one. Thanks for the observation. Steve Eguina #86 ESP
