Not sulking over heads...sulking over what this is going to cost me with the addition of a belt drive. I'll never run a timing chain again.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Wow G, I just read all 39 pages and I'll probably be late for work! Couldn't stop reading. I have a lot to learn.
Newman sent me over here to Lat G. Great site.
You're going to be at Buttonwillow in Sept. correct? Im looking forward to getting out there this year and meeting a few more members. It sounds like I missed a great time last year.
If you're there, can the wife still get a ride? One of the first ones so she doesn't walk away !
Hoping everything works out for you.

Hi Rob....yeah, I rarely if at all visit the PT forum anymore. Glad to hear your interested in coming to Buttonwillow this year. As long as me and the car are still in one piece I'd should be there.

BTW, rendering looks great and a ride for the wife should be no prob.....I'll only need a couple of sessions to kick these guys asses

Seriously though, we will have alot of great competition out there this year....Todd ran really well last year as did Newman and Casanova.....Chad will be a big contender also if his car will be done in time and hopefully the Pozzi's make it out again this year. I'm sure we will have alot of other great talent out there and if all that are putting there cars together for this one make it I think we may have a few surprises

Hey, since your car is in the shop, can I do some more random work that you won't ever know about and attribute the faster times to your fantastic driving? Just wondering. Its a shame, its just sitting there. I promise I won't break anymore glass.
True story guy's. Vince works on my car and upgrades things without telling me and I dont notice any changes sometimes till months later

Your full of it. You can drive and you know it......just need to keep up with the times and build yourself a race car like everybody else is. And dont forget, being Italian makes me inherently fast

Sorry Bret....maybe if you posted a little more I'd remember you were still around

Couple other mentions that I forgot.......Steven and Jon.....both guys were at Buttonwillow last year underpowered compared to the mentioned and laid down some very respectful lap times

I'm really looking forward to it. She will be done!! Heck, I need to get her done before Hot August Nights.

Thanks for the kind words on the rendering. I'm liking it and it's just that extra motivation to get out there and work on her.

I saw all the sh*t talking on the other Buttonwillow thread. Looks to be a lot of fun coming up in September. I'll be there.

Stay in one piece!
