You wanted me to spend $300,000 ???? WTF — why would you think there was anything quality or thought out??

Are these being fed from the quarter windows?

I think so Dan.... but not sure whether that’s the exact location or not yet but I think so.

What they won’t be — is hung off the quarter window with a couple screws like the NACA duct that “they” (Sutton and idiots) attached = mostly hanging out in thin air waiting to be broken off...

Urban is one of the most highly respected builders in the country. Your in good hands there, as you well know. As you already said Greg, the finest, most technically advanced race engine on earth won’t survive if it’s not set up with the correct ancillary systems.
I’m good friends with Ken Roper (KRC). That’s a local business to me and he has an incredible rags to riches story. Absolutely great family! He once owned a business that sold Race parts out of a cube van. (FastLane) He eventually found a metal building to sell race parts out of, and I used to spend 60% of my paycheck as a single guy, building hot rods there. He started tinkering with power steering pumps, and the rest is history.
Great to hear and see progress pics Greg on the Missle. Hang in there my friend, spring is coming fast and you’ll be putting down laps in this thing before you know it. Hope 2019 is your best year yet!!

Thanks Scott!!

Great story on Ken BTW!! Love that stuff!!

You can stop by and make sure my pump is being rebuilt..... LOL

I’m hoping my January 31st CT scan has some ‘positive’ news.... and that your prediction of 2019 comes true! I would LOVE nothing more than to be able to get some laps in on the car...... I would have loved it even more if Sutton was there with me and reaping the benefits (business wise) of having built a great product and people were lined up to order their version... but that’s water under the bridge.

Cheers buddy!

Laying the radiator forward for some ducting so the POS will actually cool.... don’t even get me started with Suttons ability to do anything but self promote - self deal.... He certainly doesn’t know anything about building a car.

And for laughs —— we stayed at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills for a recent trip to LA for furniture shopping.... and Marilyn was out at the entrance.... and well.... being the teenage brained 65 year old that I am.... this pic says it all.
