What's up with that?

That can change as quickly as the weather forecast for El Toro next week.

Aha! Ok I just found it with all my other accessories. Guess I missed that one. LOL. I've been running the solid back door and will switch that out next time. Thanks for enlightening me!

You could hear the front tires squeal as I pushed thier threshhold. Right then left figure eights, hard acceleration then brake test, lock up, modulating as not to flat spot the tires. Rear brakes did not lock up with the front, however they are doing thier job. Steering is great for the tight stuff, the variable ratio box allows you to drive with one hand on wheel and on on shifter, rarely using other hand. Did get into second, but ran out of room quickly. In the short time it gave more confidence as the tires and brakes got hotter. This baby is a handfull, pipey like a two stroke, raw and bare bones ride. Probably not a nitpick driver car, but a kick in the ass to have a great time. Isn't that what its for? Nice car Dave, thanks for letting me be part of the evolution. Lets kick ass next week! Run whatcha brung!
Hey, how come I haven't been to the Garlic Farm Proving Grounds?

Awesome review man. I didn't know you had it in ya.

See ya soon...
