I get alittle freaked out when stupid people do stupid things around you just to get alook at your car. They stop paying attention to the road and just stare at your car.

Man that sucks big time. Not to mention its 100x worse in the fact that you just finnished her.

I can only imagine how you feel....
I think the guy was taking a drink. I shot a pic of him when he got out of the truck. He was soaking wet so he was holding a drink. I figured it could come in handy if this goes to court. Glad I always carry a camera.

At this point I'm a little curious what you 'have planned' for the rebuild!

So BOS is estimating a couple months for the rebuild? That's not to bad at all!!

Steve, you should post his picture here. Not his name but his picture. That's the least you can do.

Well you've got the right attitude!! Get on with it , That really sucks !! but you can't dwell on it , I've spent many hours working(not your 2 years) on race cars and destroid a couple on their first race, one we took out the engine , trans and some misc parts and had to junk the rest. I'm sure you'll have it going better than before.
