I don't get it. If someone (not naming anyone like Smokkinu & Smokkinu2, Uh hm) is breaking all the fastlap, someone has to scream . . . "CHEATING". You can't tell me that these Guys are cheating, just because the guys are faster, only means you have your work cut out for you. Believe it or not, you cry babies can do the same thing, if you work more on your cars and lines (and less sucking on your thumbs). As I see it, these guys are working together as they did in N1. They were great driver than, and they are now. They could make the cars for N1 and they are doing it again. Their speeds are not SOO far gone, that it is unbelievable. I put money on them spending more time making cars than any of you. BTW...I don't see anyone screaming about Jure and Dotson....when they have more records than the Smokkin Team. Patricia

In reply to:Pat, GT86 and Smokkinu2: I have also raced Fastlap97 and have ran about 10 to 15 qualifing laps at the various tracks and have made the top 10 in a few. IT'S ALL IN THE LINE !! If all 3 members of a team share this info, then they should all go fast. One point worth mentioning is that I doubt that Jure has as much help across the big ocean as we all have here :) We must give the fellow credit for the times he is turning, also congrads to Pat and we all know the DRMK Motorsports Team will be fast as they always have been ( 194 at michigan on N1 !!!). Practice, practice, practice and find a friend to help you and together you'll both go faster. For now I'm off to practice at Atlanta so I can get into the 183 or 184 range :) Jim Deane JDeane on Hawaii Webpage: http://www.mindspring.com/~jdeane

As we all know, fast laps don't translate to wins. It's not who is the fastest, it's who slows down the least who wins.

> As we all know, fast laps don't translate to wins. It's not who is the > fastest, it's who slows down the least who wins. Flawed logic. If I maintain 170 mph for a full tank lap, after lap. I slow down the least. However, we both know 170 ain't gonna cut it. If I can run 1 mph faster than you with a full tank, but 1/4 mph slower than you from 19 down to 0 gallons. I will still probably be able to beat you. I would qualify ahead of you, once you catch me, I'd be hard to pass. So in effect I'd be slowing you down, "wasting" setup tweaking you spent hours on. We've heard it a thousand times, "I could catch him, I just couldn't get around him" It's situations like this that show what kind of driver/person you are. Mark Martin: Wait for the guy to make a mistake. Jeff Gordon: Well, ask Rusty. mykey

says... I'll agree with you on that and add this: Try spending that much time hunting down prospective "teammates" who are fast and you'll get the same results. Wandering around Compuserve yesterday yielded a post by one Hawaiis' fastest looking for "nice people" to acquire setups from. Guess he ran out of teams to join. Regards, Gavel
