You are about on. It may even be worse, since he has power. I've seen C32 times that are at the 1:30 mark. Add another 200ish HP and it helps on that track.
Either way, like I said, I don't expect to get money unless he runs off the road. I'm sure we will have an over and under before the event.

Ok, cool, I just wanted to make sure becasue a lot of tracks I have raced on have chicanes that can easily be overshot resulting in lap times several seconds quicker, Daytona comes to mind where once I wanted to find out how much the chicane on the back straight slowed us down. I over shot it on my 600 on purpose and I went from a high 2:01 down to a low 1:51, that thing costs you over 10 seconds.

BTW, how tall are you? Anywhere close to 5'10-6'1"? If you can fit in my car I might want to see what kind of lap times you can lay down in my car vs yours. It would be interesting to gauge my mods vs your car and what kind of gains they are giving me.

The last time I ran Willows I did not have time to prep, so all I did was put the rear rims and tires on the front and vice versa. The car no longer pushed but wasn't really balanced, since the rear wanted to come out but that much. Any car can be balanced. That doesn't mean it will be fast.

cant wait
Also regarding 2 secs a lap vs. 5 laps/10 secs, I'd go for 2 secs Jangy. Your tires are going to be so gone that your times are gonna just get worse and worse. It will be much better for JR since his tires won't go bad nearly as quick.
This is going to be such a schooling it will be hilarious. PLEASE PLEASE someone record this sticky event.

Just for the record, anyone that reads this and thinks I'm being a d!ck for offering such a lop sided race, it was Jangy that has been the one claiming to be able to beat my car with his E55 on a road course...strange how he is suddenly changing his tune, but if anyone needs proof I would be more than happy to dig through the archieves and raise some of Jangy's comments from the dead.
He's bringing a knife to a gun fight.

When did I ever say any E55 is faster than a CLKBS on a race curcuit? Why would I? I have always said that my E55 is nothing different than any other E55. I have said that you will get spanked at the 1/4 track, but you will. That is totally different than this crap you love to setup.
How about next we go dessert racing? I'll give you 3.5 seconds and bet my buggy can climb a dune better than your CLK?

Willow is know to racers as "The I-5" since it's so wide. Braking into 1 he will pass you, if you somehow hold him off there he will pass you in the braking zone into 4, going up into 5 or down the hill into 6. Then you will NEVER see him again as he runs away from you over 7 into 8 and he will put half a straight on you from his exit at 9.
