You definitely have the bug! Man, that brings back memories. I was gassing and braking along with you. Isn't it awesome trying to pick up the guys line in front of you and trying to set him up for the pass?

Marty,

Is this what you had in mind when you asked Rodger about building cars for vertically challenged guys?.....



This is a slightly modified Fiat 126. The other pics I posted above are of a 126 as well.

I'm not sure if the tall guy could build something that low. Of course he could raise up the frame table so his back wouldn't hurt so much

So I had rough night last night. Got caught up in pretty much every incident on the track it seemed. Car had to be pushed off the track after I got tangled up with a some driver development Nascar super star fund raising for his charity. He hit me so hard in the side my radiator slid over a few inches and wrapped the shroud up in the fixed fan and the car would not restart. There was 2 laps left in the race at that point.



So when I got out of the car I noticed the left front was pretty badly cambered in. Well I'm guessing this is the cause.



Got the body torn off the drivers side to pull out the body bars and be ready for Saturday in 2 weeks.



I ended up 14th out of 21 for the night.
