If I had FU money, I would buy an M3 Saloon just to beat the living snot of and laugh like a Bond villian all the while :lol:

The fastest challenge I had so far in the Redeye was from a Tesla. It was quick off the line but had nothing for me at the big end of the run.
 
Straight line is boring compared to making a left turn at 175 and not lifting.
Road course is the best. That car has to be able to go straight, turn left and right, accelerate and slow down numerous times. Straight line, roundy-round, or road course, each kind has it's own skillset.
 
I MAY have some good news on Carlisle this year. I am watching my new station this morning and they are showing a map of the United States cited by the White House. They showed and I quote "The earliest date which relaxing social distancing may be possible with containment strategies that include testing, contact tracing, isolation, and limiting gather size." Pennsylvania has a Threshold date of May 25th-May 31st. Sounds kind of encouraging. Connecticut however will have to wait until at least the beginning of June around the 1st-7th or later.

That's what makes F1 so cool to watch. Especially the start. 20-22 cars starting from a standing start running up to the first turn usually a 90 or a hairpin. All fighting for the lead and the best racing line into the turn that's only about 60' wide:rofl:

The city of Carlisle posted that their summer festival on July 4 is cancelled. Not sure how that will impact the shows
 
At least they have cars on it from 70.

Once the souvenir vendor changed 3 or 4 years ago the shirts have gotten horrible. Even the material sucks.
Used to be you could touch the shirts before you bought, now they're behind the counter. Its a much more stuffy environment.

Back to the design, only one C body i can ever recall on there and that was 8 years ago.
