Well....it was bought new for the wife as a Valentines day present, but Emily got in it when she turned 15 & you know where it went from there! I think you are probably the only driver NOT to race that thing! 176,000 miles on it....and 150k of those a 1/4 mile at a time (along with driving to & from the events)! You do need to race it in one of the big$ foot brake races for us Dereck!

Yes I can....I will just need a gunea pig donor car to get the design right....or better yet, one of the discontinued kits as well.

Tracy,

Hmmm, sounds familiar but mine has a different twist. Bought the Formula for a daily driver, ended up being a back-up with about 280 runs on it to date. Wife's DD now, still a great bracket car since the Nova is....
