Congrats Brent. My advice--->just enjoy the car a while, you have been through so much, screw the drag strip, enjoy it this summer. I cant wait to meet up with you at CFA and GD's for some Chili-Mac and some runs

Seriously ... producing a time slip would be the least of my concerns. Your main concern should be taking me for a spin with the top dropped.


BTW dude ... change your avatar. I have nothing against stock roadsters, but that's not your car.

Thanks again everyone... It definitely has been a long road, and we are not quite finished, but it is nice to see the results of all the hard work put into her paying off.

I will be just enjoying her for a couple of weeks, then back to Sharif before ZdayZ. After that I expect all the engine work to be done and I should only have a few cosmetic things left to clean up.

I would like to hit the 1/4, but without a full cage I would only get one run anyway.... Not to mention I would have to baby it off the line to prevent any further axle damage Instead, I will try to get her to Summit Raceway this summer/spring, but only for a little fun. I have put too much into this car to lose it in turn 6 again So for right now, if it does make it to a track, it will not be to push it, but just to get a feel for how she handles.

My Avatar: I have no idea how to change it or make a quality small pic for it. So it stays the way it is I guess. LOL

CFA and some GD's chili-mac here we come next weekend

Congrats Brent. This is definitely the most deserved project milestone that anyone on this board has earned. Can't wait to see the final numbers when she goes back to Forged...
