Goat Boy,
Just checked Natsoft's results for this years V8SC Pukekohe round and Winterbottom lap record 1.3.76 was set after he pitted and stuck 2 new rear tyres [following his rear left hand side tyre failure] in near perfect bone dry track conditions. When you compare Murphy's new V8ST lap record of 1.4.85 set in race 3 in cold conditions with water streaming over the track in the front straight, its only a tenth over 1 second difference between the fastest V8SC lap time and the fastest V8ST time, our cars cost less than half the cost, and on the same track under identical conditions would probably be less than .5 of a second of their cars.
Pretty dam impressive even if I do say so myself.
I better duck now because the haters will be baying for blood, any second now!
