No question that the PR cars, in general, are just very fast cars using a lot of the same parts that we use. Their 'SECRET' is being able to drive the crap out of what they have, getting the track managers in on the action by doing GREAT track prep, and then showing up at the track on a REGULAR basis. From what I see, they're very proud and passionate racers that do a hell of a job in all areas. Big congratulations, now you've thrown the new times down and have us motivated too. That's simply called the natural progession of racing.

I understand, not everyone budgets are the same but for what these cars have they are really impressive. IMO, PR has been watched by many so I would think it would be easy to get sponsors since you guys are doing very well, not so?

I do believe the track is indeed 1320, but just for the sake of others who don't believe why don't you get Turbotrix to verify it since they were there so all the speculation can stop

Chime in their forum, Im sure they'll reply.
Mark, Luis, Keith were here, had a good time, raced their car, did 9's and left home and that was more than 3 years ago.
