OK guy's, my head is spinning. I'm having a hard time with the idea of excepting cash from you guys. I think I should gracefully bow out.

Chris at JCG and Jon at Drvers Inc, I would be proud to represent you guys on my car if the tire offer is still good. My front fenders have room along with a possible windshield banner. Any size just as long as it looks good. I will be hitting all of the NASA Time Trial events next season which should give you guys some decent exposure. I will also work at winning my way into Optima for next year.

In addition, the guys at DreamSpeedMotors also feel that we would need more time to tune with the 200 tread wear tires.

Pappy Fain, Greg Weld, and 5280/4, you guys are solid and I cant tell you how much I appreciate the cash offer and I'm not to proud to except the offer but it just doesn't feel right.

Gaetano,

Don't look at the cash as a gift, it is an investment in the spirit of competition. I want to see how the various suspension systems compare on the road course. I don't expect you to do as well with the cones -- not your thing -- and the really big brake cars will perform well in the braking competition, but its the road course times I am really interested in. You are the old school "missing link" with a reputation for speed. It wouldn't be right for you not to be represented. Good luck with a selection.

Pappy

It would be interesting to see how an older build compares to the new kids on the block. Whoever steps up has to really want it in my opinion. :unibrow:
Yes having the Mule out there would be very cool. Kinda like when Big Red was there the first year. :yes:

I would love to see the Mule there, but it's not in the cards. I even talked to Charley about it. :D


Hopefully we'll have a clearer picture in the next day or two on who might be representing our community. :thumbsup:

Lots of activity since I last looked before bed last night. Telly V.'s trailer offer makes the numbers work for me, I think. Must be my quiet and reserved nature that is keeping guys from throwing money at me. :lol:

Now to convince mama that a week in Vegas is a great idea while she stays home alone with our daughter.

I've tried to get in this deal every year and I finally made it. I can't believe nobody wants to seize this once in a lifetime opportunity. Your car gets to go to SEMA, Road Racing, Autocross, 0-60-0, and potentially on TV. You have the chance to be crowned the baddest street car in the USA. Can I run for both sites? :unibrow:

Tri-Tip?

Give it to Jeff. He wants to go. He has the ability to go. He has an awesome car. And it's equipped with all sponsors products. Why not?
