That is why running in a group like NASA with full course open passing is the way to go. Parade laps suck.

Seat time is where it's at. How often do you think people are trying to tune their car for a condition their driving is causing?

Gotta tell you race guys ---- PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show was so much more "relevant" than SEMA for the guys that went.... We were in awe for 3 days! Plus we got to kiss the bricks at The Brickyard!!

Oh ----- and Ron Sutton walked with us and showed us all some of the trick stuff going in the new car... so just that was worth the trip!

If you've not seen one - or heard of one - check out PPG Sequential 6 speeds (we'll run non overdrive - just 6 close ratio gears).

There was so much cool stuff there is was a bit overwhelming! I saw things I didn't know existed.... and the staff at the booths knew racing and loved talking about their stuff and race cars in general.... It was just awesome weekend. COLD for sure!!

Totally agree ----- Hey you "race guys" ---- NOTE: There were ZERO CORVETTE OR EVO parts there. Zip, Nada, NONE.

Sounds like a hoot and way better then a monkey on your head!

Can’t wait to see it come together, especially the aero and pneumatic jacks...
