    There will be more pics coming, but this picture was at Road America last weekend during the Shelby Club event, in turn five with the power being applied, notice a little air under the front left tire. Took first place in the class I was in, with a 2min 51 sec lap time, and I brought the car home in one piece this year.

    Congrats. I have never seen detailed pics of how your car is built. Tell us
    about it. What did you have to do to get into road racing with your car?

    That's cool ! I'm not familiar with that type of racing. Is it a nationwide thing ? Don't know that I've heard of that in Ohio.
    Maybe the wife is right...maybe I DO spend too much time in the garage :huh: ....:rolleyes:
