I spoke with Seymour on Saturday. :D

I am really trying to get Mike interested in putting his motor/converter in the car. It could happen. :twisted:

Hey guys, I weigh 136# with clothes & work boots (steel toes). If you will bring it out to some of the west coast races, I would sub for you.
By the way Samoa is at sea level about 45' above give or take and on the coast.
In the group picture I'm 2nd from the left (Woodburn race)

Dag Nabbit you all!

All this talk about light, aerodynamic project cars reminds me that the Turismo is still just sitting there rusting away in Georgia (the state, not the country :roll: ) while I'm over here in Germany (thankfully not Georgia the country :shock: ) without the time, money or energy to do anything about it.

Congrats on the new wheels 'Zilla! :D I ain't gonna say nuthin' 'bout you "might bein' able" to take on Ol Possum with it... The last time I tried to stir that pot I had my tail stepped on... :roll: :D

Keep us posted on your progress.

Now that frightens me. I'm afraid that with Jester around small farm animals may be involved. :shock: :lol:

Dang that Daytona is small. Maybe I need a bigger screen... :?

That thing has 9s or 10s written all over it.
