Thank all of you for the wonderful compliments and for the dedication to this excellent forum for kindred spirits. Many from this site have inspired and helped me directly and in-directly.
Special thanks to Dan Holohan and Payton King for providing ideas, inspiration and often for Dan the execution/fabrication. Thank goodness I got to meet him and had him work on my car before his new shop became so popular!
Payton was also the instigator who got me to take my car on the track. Had a blast and am heading back!
