I thought the same thing. The announcers voice sounded funny. That car is clean and made a great looking pass.

Josh Kreyer built the cage...I did the interior myself...although I hate cutting carpet...the rear seat is factory...the front seats are Sparco Evo L's...all are custom covered with the "Firehawk" emblem to match by a local shop.

Gah, it was all calm then it sounded like armageddon was coming when you were stalling up to stage. Sick!

Nice pass Tom the car looked great. I think that's very good especially considering the raceweight and d/a.
