Truthfully they aren't much heavier than this. Everyone adds so much stuff to them that they turn in to boats real fast!

My PIG Nomad weighs in at 4023 pounds.... Ya think the dual subwoofers.. 40 speakers - triple amps - A/C - P/W - Wool carpet... leather interior...

Ya think this stuff doesn't add weight! OMG!

Well -- Gaetano and Dave G came up to watch / hang out at Sonoma (ex Infineon - ex Sears Point)... and sadly -- I only got to run a little today. Seems guys in my group kept punching their cars into walls... and my group runs were cut short by the carnage.

On another note - might not make this event now - 'cause the motor in the Mutt dropped a valve cap on the last go 'round and upon further review managed to beat up the valve stem in the process... so the motor comes out and gets a freshening/fix at Tony Odo's shop and the shop I left it at (McGee's at the track) won't touch it until after Monterey Historic's... so between not getting right on it -- and whatever Tony's schedule is -- who knows if it'll be track ready.

Will anyone actually own a running car when this day comes?

I also got into the wall on turn 7 just enough to put some wall paint on the car.... Seems turn 7 was eating cars all day...

I'm sure Charley will be posting pics since he took a dozen of them of my damage to "his" car... Jack (the builder) was broken hearted as well...

I was waiting for you to mention that.

Luckily it was just a scratch.
