The race I was talking about with Andrew and Dan was in June of 2007

It does show we ran PTD. We took out the ballast and the passenger seat.

It was the old one, 2000 ZX3 #44. The car ran really well, and Ryan was really driving hard. It was fun to watch.

During both, qualifying and the race, he was battling with a PTD BMW. The BMW would pass him and Ryan would pass him back. This went on from start to finish. I talked to the BMW driver after the race, and he had as much fun as Ryan.

We're still working on the 2008. Just doing the last of the wiring. Converting from a 2008 2.0l automatic to a 2005 2.3l manual, is a little more work than I planned. Its really been a team effort between F2Focus, Wildpony Motorsports and us. It will be on the track at the May NASA event at Big Willow.

I try to get to Willow, Mark. But, the weekend before I’ll be at Laguna Seca helping Capaldi Racing.

Rumor has it an important press release might be issued then as well on SevernsRacing.com

Has anyone here run, or seen/heard of, a Spec Focus at Limerock? Just curious what sort of lap times a well set-up and driven one would do there. LRP is my "home track" so to speak so it's my point of reference.

I don't know of anyone who's ran at Limerock. but if you look at Mid-pack or upper pack times of the Spec Miata and that's were we should be running at.
