There are other IRS guys who changed to some other type of stock suspension so I have no idea how that will go.

That car looks awesome!!!!!! I will love to look at it on Friday nights at Milan for sure.

Nice! I think Tom likes his red car with the gray graphics. It does look good!! That will be a badass car. Definitely can't wait to see it out. I don't think it's expected till next year. But hopefully Harlan's car gets out this year.

yea i know that, but to run in radial, you have to have the same style stock susp that the car comes with factory. paul majors vette has a tq arm style rear in it i belive, but i only think theres a couple places its not allowed. should be a wicked deal without a doubt tho.
