How do these races get set up?  I'm assuming these aren't just stop light
showdowns.  You don't have to square off against McLaren F-1's and 911
GT1's (or even Z-28's and Mustang GT's) right?  Any idea what kind of 0-60
and 1/4 mile times you're running?  Any of this kind of racing going on in
the Los Angeles area so I can check it out?

And Jason, your posts always show up with a 1996 date so they end up at the
top of my inbox.  Is this some bug on my end or yours?

OK, just saw an ad for Fulda tires in Road & Track and it really plays up
the German/Autobahn angle.  I remember Fulda tires being very inexpensive.
Are these tires really German and more importantly, are they good?
