I want a bumble bee tooooo.
I'm picking up the AP kit this weekend though. Can't wait.

Usually I get mixed feedback on my videos of people either loving the music against the cars on the track or hate it..
Appreciate the love.

Not to mention the cars have to run in three different classes ***** to the wall all day so we spaced the inter-coolers, oil cooler, radiator, and PS coolers out to breath better.

Thanks again.
We are trying to do some different things to make the car better, stiffer, and faster. Bumble Bee will need it to be raced at 700+ WHP instead of the current 500 WHP...

Mr A: that front clip/bumper intercooler set up is neat.. thats the first i've ever seen someone do that... hopefully you dont hit anything that takes out the entire setup at once.. maybe you should clip everything in with zipties so they pop off 
how do you mount the front bumper to it all ? (since the top radiator frame/brace is gone?) get that front splitter on soon to clean up the front..

Note:
There are clips...When we caged the whole car it made the rear really really twitchy...The front core support rebuild was to stabilize the front end to help balance the stiffness of the rear amd help balance the overall car to HELP LAY MORE POWER DOWN coming out of the turns...Again, it is alot to lay day 500 WHP let alone 700 WHP...
I know I need the finishing touches in the front and Aero, will be ALL GOOD at Button Willow.

oh yea. Bees are kinda gentle insects. When provoked they sting once then die.
suggest changing name to Yellow Jacket, Hornet, or Wasp cuz those suckers are aggressive and keep stinging until their prey dies.. sorta what you're aiming for metaphorically on the track, no?
