Ferget it. Actually, a WERA racer, William Lumsden, considered running a Vmax in A Superstock. He took it out to Talladega GPR for a practice day, and _really_ annoyed the 600 riders -- they usually got caught behind a sideways Vmax in the corners, and if they passed him going in, he'd blow by down the straight (usually wobbling). Needless to say, since he was 2 seconds faster on a 1977 CB400F, he decided against the Vmax. Too bad. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ray Hixon WERA #623 Expert a Single-minded guy
