It still amazes me this car came together in seven months even though i witnessed every step of the build. and on top of that how well the car performs and drives is something to really be proud of. congrats scott great work!
All I can say is give er hell fellas. I hope you guys kick some tail and bring her home in one piece.

That car is sick. It really get my juices flowing since I like the race aspect more than the show. I was talking to him right before he was going to practice. He said, the wife won't give me the money to fix it if I wreck it so I better take it easy. I want to see what that car will do with Paul Tracy behind the wheel.

There are companies all over the US setting up track days for you to practice. I'd love to meet you and check out that car some time in person. Its by far my favorite build in a long time. I've spun nearly every time I go out. Likely due to manual steering and a heavy rear brake bias

Spend some time at local High performance driving events with some instruction. Its a great place to push your own limits in a safe environment. I run with speedventures mostly.

What part of the country are you in Scott? Love the car.

I went to 6 track avents this year. I have that same fear Cole Trickle did just a little afriad to push it harder.I have talked to a driving instrustor and asked for help next year. He says we we work on my fears of crashing the car.Jeff says there is nothing wrong w/ just being a crew cheif. I really like watching my son wheel the car too.If he dose not finish his car then he will most likely drive my car some this next year. Heartland will track day twice a month this next year. He should get some seat time.Nobody is going to pay to drive but they might pay to build.P.S I am in Kansas S.W. of K.C 30 miles. I am thinking of throwing bar-b-q wed night before the flatlands for every body.Were about 3 to 4 hour south of hastings and a real nice motel in baldwin.I have lots of room for cars and trailers at my house.I am going to drive up thurs. morning.We could all caravan togather.We could even go coon hunting to.Scott
