if you part this out I'll take it ...

[racerdad2]

I think I should buy this one from you, too Father / Son team & all... Now, to find room in the garage & a few more $$$ in the cookie jar... My truck & trailer already know the way...

Any ideas on a 'stacker' system for the garage ?

I know its first come, first served... Best wishes on the sale & I hope my cookie jar fills quickly !

Does this mean that purple frog racing is going on hiatus or is there another froggie car in the wings??

Yeah, we need to know. Did you determine the 'T' car will be faster?

[Purple Frog]

"T" car shipped to Minnesota last year.

OBTW, at $11,000 with all the spares listed, there is no less expensive way to turn 100mph average laps at Road Atlanta.

.... as seen recently in the North Florida Eakins Estate

[Purple Frog]

I could offer this car for $9,000 if someone doesn't want all the spares.

I'll sell the complete spare suspension, spare nose, spare motor, new brake pads, and spare headers myself.

But... you will wish you had them later.

[Jim Gustafson]

Could you explain in a little detail, what the chassis mods are, that were done to accommodate the big fella that had the car previously?

Thanks,
Jim Gustafson

[Purple Frog]

New rollhoop and new side bars from the hoop to the middle bulkhead.

[Jim Gustafson]

Is this new hoop the one shown in the pictures?

Jim G.

[Purple Frog]

Yes, it's been on the car since before i purchased it in 2006.

[Purple Frog]

The new GCR legal FC cam is now installed in the engine that is currently in the car, with the light flywheel.

[Purple Frog]

Folks have been asking about the "Big Man Rollhoop". Why do i think this is one of the safest Reynards on the planet?

Look at the side impact bars that standard Reynards don't have. I was hit in the side in '05 in the Tatuus. I appreciate such things.

The hoop is tall and wide. I have like 5" of clearance.

I was concerned about head safety side-to-side in the older cars where you are sitting up out of the car. So... after discussions with Eric Langbien and Fred Clark we came up with the forward braces. They don't effect vision. (OBTW, the FIA padding is not on them in this picture).

I feel a ton safer in this car.

It can be delivered to Road Atlanta tomorrow evening for no extra charge.

Purple Frog, did you receive my message?

What a deal. This is a fast car folks- and I can't remember a race she didn't finish. Even with an old pilot like Mike they give much more modern cars a good fight . He always says, imagine what someone who could drive would do in this thing...

[Purple Frog]

Two top 5 finishes at the Majors at Road Atlanta last weekend.

LOL

[starkejt]

Stop lolling. You have broken ribs.

[Purple Frog]

Oh yeah... really fun when they "pop out". Twice today.

I think many on Apexspeed would have rather had me break typing fingers instead.

Who cares? You're too old for self esteem issues.

[problemchild]

Hey Mike,
Did you get a picture of the metallic purple convertible Corvair that was cruising the paddock on Sunday?

[Mike B]

On its way to Appleton WI.

Again?

[RacerDave51]

...lots of Appletonians out there that need a Reynard... Up there is where all the good racing seems to be for old rides.

[Steve Demeter]

So Mr. Frog, what will you do.

This is the first time in how many years you did not have at least 1 race car in the garage.

Have the withdrawl symptoms started yet?

Are you feeling nausea, lightheaded, night sweats etc???
