    GR:
    As one of many a victim of this car/driver combination all 2002 SEDIV CFC season, I will vouch for the capabilities of this car/driver combo.

    If you have the desire to own a competitive car, this is it! For god's sake, this thing was beating newer FC's!!

    Richard, sorry to see you selling this thing, NOT!

    It appears you may have made your decision to harass a different class of drivers. GIVE 'EM H**L!!

    Let us know what your up to.

    Peace

    Purple Frog:
    Look mom, I'm actually in the picture! That's as close as I ever got to Richard. I need Richard to autograph a copy of that picture so I can show it to my grandkids and prove I actually was on the same track with him when he wins Indy.

    GR, you know what this means. Some other 130 pound kid is going to buy this setup and kick our butts all next year. Jeez, it never ends.

    Marshall, don't you think your father would look good in that car... maybe change all the black parts to purple?

    I'll gladly take $15,000 for it, but that's not fair to anyone wanting to buy it. I guess a lot of it depends on the spares and extras that come with it. The motor has 2 weekends on it and dynoed at 145 at Butler's. I have a lot of spare fiberglass, suspension, and brake parts that I can include as well as a transponder, stickers, and radio. I also have a 24' haulmark trailer with e track tie downs for it and workbench, fuel jugs, blah blah blah. I think 8500 is a good ballpark, excluding the trailer. Let me know if anyone's interested in the trailer.

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Default Brokerage Fee

    Richard-
    I want a brokerage fee I must have had 3 or 4 people call me looking for you. I'm glad someone bought it because I was tempted to cough up some $$ and put back on the helmet...

    Well, I'm the guy. Dragged it up to North Carolina today. With any luck at all, we'll be testing at VIR on Sunday. Looking forward to meeting the CFC crowd.
