Was Racing Seats now Oval Track Racing

[krobins2@twcny.rr.com (Kenneth Robinson)]

WHOA!!!!! Who says FWD isn't any good in oval track?? 99% of the cars in our
4 cyl. division here are all FWD;with only 4 RWD.FWD cars have been track
champs here 3 years straight.Won 2 events & finished 5th last year with my
FWD 86 GTi;the 'Stangs,RWD Toyotas & RWD Nissans couldn't keep up with
me.Would you like to get on the track with me and settle this
argument??(Hehe) I'm sure you will like watching my Dub's rear bumper the
whole race!! FWD & ciurcle track racing RULES!!! Ken R.
