Default My car is back on the road!
Well I finally got it all buttoned up and drove it friday night. I have not got it tuned yet. But I should have it dialed in very soon. I still have to put the wolf 6pt in and a few minor things. But at least its road ready. I will put the hood back on this week sometime. Just making sure everything is hunky dory!
It's time to change sig now huu.

Well I got the hood on it last night and put about 80 miles on it. It feels very strong on the top end. I really, really need to get it tuned!

Glad to hear it's back together! I know you've been working on it for quite some time now. You'll be all set once Chad gets you tuned.

James, I can't wait til me and Benny get them to the track! It will be a good race.

And I was waiting for someone to notice the tire being on the wrong side. Thanks Mr. Obvious.

Who needs spots? It's like they say on "pinks". It's heads up racing!

Brian, are you up and running yet?
