Truthfully they aren't much heavier than this. Everyone adds so much stuff to them that they turn in to boats real fast!

I am very proud to say I've ridden in the back "seat" of this car.

Well -- Gaetano and Dave G came up to watch / hang out at Sonoma (ex Infineon - ex Sears Point)... and sadly -- I only got to run a little today. Seems guys in my group kept punching their cars into walls... and my group runs were cut short by the carnage.

On another note - might not make this event now - 'cause the motor in the Mutt dropped a valve cap on the last go 'round and upon further review managed to beat up the valve stem in the process... so the motor comes out and gets a freshening/fix at Tony Odo's shop and the shop I left it at (McGee's at the track) won't touch it until after Monterey Historic's... so between not getting right on it -- and whatever Tony's schedule is -- who knows if it'll be track ready.

Will anyone actually own a running car when this day comes? :rofl:

I also got into the wall on turn 7 just enough to put some wall paint on the car.... Seems turn 7 was eating cars all day...

I'm sure Charley will be posting pics since he took a dozen of them of my damage to "his" car... Jack (the builder) was broken hearted as well...:wow: :faint: :D

I was waiting for you to mention that. :D

Luckily it was just a scratch. :thumbsup:
