The first one is from inside our setup.
During the 24hour our car wasondisplay next to Schuchers trailerin the Rolex garages. We could not believe the attention our car recieved. Even Boris Said and Mad Max Papis liked it....
Boris got in itbut didnt fit to well.

Downshift--How did you figure the size and angles of the front and rear spoilers or are these available in Japan from JTC cars?

Dwnshift,

Car really likes great. I can see why it's drawing crowds. Looking forward to seeing it in person in AL & VIR. I really like this action shot from theracesite.com. This is my current wallpaper.

Car looks great... you guys should lose the Forgelines, tho - unless you have a good connection or something. That car would look sweet with some Volks or something on there.

Seriously, though - that's a great looking race car. I can see why it got such attention. Are you guys thinking of adding a team car this season? If so, do you need any hotshoes?

Hey Jason! What up!
Well since Steve Schardt is on the crew and you really cannot get a lighter "custom" fit 17 inch wheel thats strong to go with it, I think well stay with the Forgelines...We need to get them powder coated...Plus with them right up the road in Dayton it sure makes for great timely service when wheels are in need!

So does King still hate me or what???????
hahahahaha

I figgered you guys knew someone there, I didn't know they crewed for you! They are good wheels, don't get me wrong... I just don't think they are very pretty. They'll look better powder-coated that's for sure.

As for King... no one hates you, but let's just say you ain't their favorite person! Whatever, It's all in the past. Thanks for the kind wishes about our World-Challenge effort in the other thread!

You didn't answer my other question yet... any plans for a second car? Or is that hush-hush?

The banking of Daytona puts a ton of non everyday stress on the suspension. We had a suspension part break on the car.
