I appreciate it, Momma, but if you look around our site, I have more safety items (on the car and on person) than 95% of those running. And I am adding more.... I'm serious about it and heading in the right direction.[\QUOTE]
99.8% of the cars on the site don't have your power to weight ratio and aren't capable of the level of grip.

And Gaetano is damn fast for a pretty simple setup. I think 140 on the straights that he can hit is enough to do cartwheels -- isn't any caliber of cartwheel bad on a track?

Personally I really like the spectacular cartwheels that the driver walks away from.

Come on out and play. The driver is the X factor no?

To a degree.......getting gapped 8-10 car lengths on the straight lap after lap makes it tough. The way I see it given enough laps is I'd have two reasonable chances against you. 1) You run out of fuel. 2) You run the rear tires to the cords.

Nah...I'm gonna wait and see how things play out............H.P. will help him at T-Hill but wont be a big threat at Sonoma. Regardless, I'm still going to tuck away a few horsepower bones just in case

That's not the worst idea I ever heard.

But I really like the Viper blue paint that came with the car. And it's pretty decent considering it's nearing 15 years old.

Nope. Engine and car are waiting to be picked up by the Fab man... Fab53 that is... he is coming up soon.

Those sound like positives for me, yes?

That sounds like another good thing for me.

No, still lots of fab work to do up and down the car. I have neither the skills nor the tools to do it myself. So it's heading south to Long Beach to the new Fab53 shop to finish her up. I am stoked to be one of Brett's first customers in his new venture.

Will I be a threat in the parking lot when you set up your skidpad?

Having a mental flashback to arcade days where the only way to keep up and win the racing game was to keep hitting the "NOS" button and hope you dont run out.
