Great! In my little bit of quasi-USVTA experience I have found that it really isn't as much slower as everyone that hasn't tried it thinks. Yes, it looks slow on the straight, but you can really run a perfect line through the corners thanks to the lower speed and you make up a lot of time.
In our race yesterday (again, silver can/6-cell) I averaged 14.3 sec/lap. In mini cooper I averaged 15.4. In sportsman (13.5BL) I averaged 13.2 but had several baaad laps in there. The winner of the novice class averaged 15.6.
I had the most fun by far driving the Mustang.
