Hey I have that same knob! It's even marked too

How are you doing Chris? Shocks go on late this week, fab rotation next week. I'd hate to put a date on it, but we're gonna move quickly after this.

HA Ha Ron, glad to see it's back on track, can't wait for the updates.

I just sent my son - Alex - to Bondurant for 4 days of private Formula Mazda driving --- BEFORE --- he gets in the Lotus at Laguna Seca.

It's real simple -- No Driving school -- no driving in any of my stuff!

Bologna, it's wise to take a six figure with over 650hp on a road course with no experience.

Is it just my computer or did you take the "Victory Donut" video down?

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

Yes Jerr he has -- this is his second time thru Bondurant --- and he's also done the ZO6's at Spring Mountain (3 day course) --- and has done 6 speed shifter carts.

However... the little Lotus can be driven quite fast... and therefore a "dust up" course was a prerequisite.
