Mike,

I know that two teams this season (Urs included) and even the previous were running 85% and had the rev limiter on, not sure on the OD. But I was told by both teams, they had them set up like the American cars, for future overseas racing goals.

Re: Congrats to The Giant From Switzerland (Urs Erbacher)

And I am stuck in Hagerstown, Maryland missing the race in my own back yard due to work issues. I was supposed to be landing in Vegas RIGHT NOW, but instead it will be this time tomorrow night. SOMEBODY SHOOT ME.

Good job Urs and Wayne Dupuy!!!

Re: Congrats to The Giant From Switzerland (Urs Erbacher)

Met Urs tonight, nice guy, his previous best was a .74, according to one of his crew. Not sure where the Term Giant came from, he's maybe an inch taller than me and I'm 6' even! Either way I hope he stays in, brutal field!
