TC -- moving back a little on your statements about the GoodGuys events and Mopars/bountys, etc, back about 2010 the GoodGuys held an event at Chicago/Joliet Rt. 66. Well, John Sandberg came with his SCCA Solo C/Prepared race AAR... and, although he was allowed to take runs on their mini-autocross course, and having his race slicks just as he'd typically compete with his car at any SCCA Solo/autocross... John's AAR set Fastest Time of Day... each day of FRI-SAT-SUN... and he allowed many people to ride along as a passenger... everyone was exstatic who ran in his car... he was the most popular car in that event the entire weekend!... and Popular HotRodding mgzn placed a photo and small blurb about his awesome car into their magzn coverage on that event. The Fords/GMs were in awe as they watched with envy! One of these years I'll take my T/A to their event (having 200 tread wear tires as that's the minimum allowable) and see what I can show them!.. the fastest cars at those events typically all have the minimum tread wear ratings of ~200... as that's a key/critical factor in their competition for anyone to place high.
