[TPR] Colorado Mile report

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear David,


                    Ah.  I have always liked that car.   Excellent 
photo.   Good for the Quellas, but they have a number of advantages over 
the Scuderia Durango and your posting of 145 mph at 5000 rpm in 4th is 
excellent.  Did the front end feel light at that speed?   My stock 
bodied yellow car starts to feel nervous above 125 mph.


                     Thanks for sharing.


                                  Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
