The old saying goes....hand the keys over to someone that doesn't own the car and see just how fast it really is. I'd have a hard time passing the torch on a regular basis, but it sure would be fun to see the potential.

You know.. you can be pretty AND fast... :yes:

paint takes a beating with R-Comps and track debris. You and Todd have clear bra in all the right places I hope?

Thats the thing about paint, I just can't commit to it knowing the acts I'm committing. I honestly wouldn't enjoy either of my cars nearly as much with perfect paint, maybe its just me. I'd obsess about it. :lol:

I clear bra'd mine from the body crease down behind both tires. The paint isn't perfect anymore and that's fine. I'll beat her up for a few years and out comes the sand paper and clear coat. I'd rather use the car then have it looking perfect in the garage. I'll see you on the track next year.:thumbsup:

I really enjoy driving the crap out of the car. I try to hit every track dat HPT has open but I have a comfort vone that I stay within.My friend Jeff that works for Rick Hendrick said it best. Rick dose not drive any more.But that dose not mean his cars are any less. And when I go to the track days I have one thing most guys dont have. I built every part and tightened every bolt. Most of the guys just went out and bought their cars from a dealer ship.I took a peace of crap that nobody wanted and brought it back to life. The build is the really great thing for me.

Well said Scott. There is nothing cooler than building it yourself. Maybe you have a hard time running it to it's limits because you know how much work it was. I wouldn't want to wad that thing up. Although it was a heck of a good time driving that beast. What is this flatlands you are talking about and when? Maybe I can at least drive my car by then.

Yep.. that clear bra stuff rocks (no pun intended).. all these events and hardly a chip anywhere.

I like hearing people say "you don't drive it though... right?" lol
