I'm at work today as well, first chance to check out the boards.

Gator, I'm sure we could get your down to match Devon's 60 foots. Just a few trips to the track and a nitrous jetting or 2
I second leaving the credit card at home unless you have restraint. I'm thinking about year-end plans already myself, and hoping the savings account will accomodate!

Claire,
I thought you were going to find another car to make into the race buggy so the T/A could stay 6-speed. I love the auto in the Formy as it makes for a great back-up bracket car, but still wish I could have found a 6-speed. Oh well, car is the wife's DD now so doesn't matter much

Nah, too much has already been done to this car. It's got it's chips on the nose. Basically once the motor was finished that did it. It's not a show car, it's been a DD for years.

Time to take it up a notch and have some real fun like the boyz
