IMO the winner should be invited for years to come until beaten or in your case retire LOL.
The rebirthing of Penny is coming along sweet Steve, what made you decide on changing out the shocks for the Penske's.
Maybe I missed your explanation in the rebuild thread or is it a status, got to have them situation

Yea, it's fun to go back.. to be honest if we wouldn't have lost a PS pump we would have came in third overall.. if the rules were like they will be this year (where you get points for placing instead of an added time) we would have finished second behind the Cobra.. So Penny isn't quite past her prime yet.
Many of the events like Motorstate and such ARE qaulifier events.. So you wish has come true.
The switch to Penske is because they are willing to work with us to make a shock to fit the car. None of the "off the shelf" Bilstien sizes are working in our wierd application. The delay is that F1 called our guy to Europe and since they spend a bit more $$$.. lol
