I'm the most shocked out of anyone present that our car is doing as well as it is. We came in at the end of today and now it won't start. I'm hoping that letting it sit overnight will fix everything.

That Metro widebody MOVES!! You guys were passing people like they were standing still down the main straight, and it was pretty quick in the turns as well.
Cool Car

I like your strategy of waiting for mechanical elves to fix it overnight. Seems sound.

Actually what was nice was it was hard to really think of a car that was overly represented. There seemed to be a nice distribution of different cars out there. There were 4.5 SHO's (half a car for the metshro) and 4.5 mr2's(half for the Lancia) and I counted 4 Camaros

That car was awesome and I can't believe how reliably fast it was. I was very jealous not to be driving it.

In 2004 I saw one of the real Shoguns at the 30th Mid-America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet. He had it at the Hallett track but I don't remember him making laps. If I remember correctly Rick Titus owned it and brought it to the event.
