Unfortunately we won't be at the Mopar Euro Nats rwyb . We can only afford to do so many races a year. We appreciate the offer though If you can enter the euro finals you will find that the track is a lot better than at rwyb's, we've found it to be 1 -2 tenths better. Super pro ET (6.3 to 8.99 sec) would be a great class for you

Eric, way to go with that new best, I know you were aiming for that seven . Flew in on sunday, was raining at Gatwick , so we headed up on monday , sunny down south of London ,but by the time we got to Santa Pod it was raining there . Only a few cars hoping the rain would pass. Maybe I'll locate you when I get to Paris next week. Steve

Wish it weren't such a long and curvy road to get there, I would like to come to the euronats too. About 2000€ for the cartrip alone, so I think we can't make it.

Here is the link for the Mopar Euro nats: http://www.mopareuronats.com/ this is a very good meeting at the US level (in term of quality), lot of cars, girls (shutttt), good races, very good track. Only drawback : you have to survive to the English food......
