I talked to Matt Alcala last weekend and he said he would rather move more towards the other end of the spectrum and his car is far from rowdy. Everybody has their own idea of their perfect pro touring car. But do they have the experience under their belt to build it?
In regards to Mike & Brian. When Brian and I sat down we talked about this whole deal. I personally prefer these type of cars and I'm glad they have joined our group. It's just not possible to compete with them in a car like Blue Balz. My point was that Blue Balz is an awful nice pro touring car to turn into a race car. If that's what the owner desires, then so be it.

And that's a different point you just made and one most people have learned the hard way. I was "lucky" in the fact that I was building the wrong car for me (right at the time, or so I thought) and had to sell it. You have tougher choices to make because you built such a nice damn street car that you now beat like a race car.
If you're competitive like I know you and I both are, it is difficult to not succumb to making those "performance first" improvements. Especially when the fast get faster.
In regards to Matt... a blown motor will do that to ya.
I don't know anyone who isn't glad Mike and Brian joined the group... unreal cars and nice approachable guys with no egos.

People have been saying that about your car for awhile now.
