yep, what super mike said here is correct!

but Richards car was competitive in Hot Street in the FFW competition. All motor class, tube chassis car. Very quick.


and the rx7 did not hit, if it did, it just rubbed up on the car. nothing bad at all....

lemme clear a few more things up, motor was a SBF, it wasnt a tube chasis had stock frame rails, the car wasnt an 03 cobra, it started life as a body in white. Just a shell of an 03 cobra body.

Looked like he wandered out of the groove and lost it then. Most likely from the aformentioned sand.
