Ya know I forgot he blew it up. I saw him out this year but never asked about the engine.

I bought a short new block, stock stroke and bore. Raced it last season, and managed second place for the season. Not bad, considering my competition is Porsche and Corvette.

I think if the car had a better driver, it would do much better. Working on that, too.

I'd be more than happy to drive your car Bob.

No guarantees on me being faster.

It's a hand full! The biggest problem is getting enough heat in the tires to make them stick. It's such a light weight car that it's easy to overpower available traction. Especially at lower speeds when the wing isn't applying much down force. I'm going to make some changes this winter that might improve that. Maybe.
