this is the GP9 you're talking about, right?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_GP9

Holly Shit!  1750 Horsepower!  No wonder Stoner is the only one who can manage that thing.
I can only imagine a turn at 160MPH, knee down, hanging off the side of it...
DFW-MFer!

I wonder what the weight savings of a carbon fiber frame is?

That shouldn't be tough considering that it looks like he's raised the white flag for the season.

I can't think it did his ego any good to have Sete, all rusty from a year and a half vacation, be half a second slower than Stoner when Marco is 2 to 3 seconds slower.  Even Patrick's new boy toy Nicolo is faster than Marco.  ;D
