    Congrats, very nice look! Caution you will need more brake, don't let it get away from you!
    It can be tough to hold back!

    Thanks guys...


    I've got to believe with less weight and more tire braking performance should increase...

    Default Top Notch

    I would expect nothing less from the "Nut".

    Sean, congrats on finishing the car. I hope it runs as good as it looks.

    Default Nice job!

    As with most race cars they never look better than BEFORE we take them out on the track! As a former used car dealer I sure can tell where you took the pic's I was wondering if anyone ask what sale THIS car was going to be in? I can hear the auctioneer now "Heres a nice low miles... Does anyone know WHAT this is?,is the owner or one of his sales people here? Well anyway it will be AS IS and TMU (True miles Unknown)!!!"

    Ran her around a parking lot today w/ Formulasuper's help.

    Ran like a top... incredibly fast even when not reved near the limit. In 1st gear throttle induced oversteer was EASY to do.
    Had to adjust the clutch and firm up the linkage in the shifter. Its still not 100% but is shifting now when prompted.

    Trailer is all loaded up and we CAN'T WAIT FOR THURSDAY!!
