You get a 20b and hope nobody has heard an F1 car.

Because it doesn't sound anything like an F1 car.

yea since last year the car has come along way...when you saw it at the daytona test day it was running the old engine manegment system with a different intake setup and the motors back then had over 80 hours of race time on the so they were really low on power......

for next year i think the car will do better than last year and wont break as much..last years daytona 24 was the big shake down test for tht car. we wont be running the whole season do to the fact tht we are a private team meaning tht we dont have as much money as a factory backed team...so will be running a hand full of races but the car will be alot quicker and reliable.

That is so awesome! I just found out though that the event at Ca. Speedway may not be held this year due to some modifications of the track. Do you know if there will an event held at Ca. Speedway? If not.. Will you attend the Laguna race? I have got to attend an event that you race at next year.

I agree, that widebody kit is really sweet! I contacted you or maybe your brother over the summer to see how much you would charge for the widebody kit, given we have a few buyers?
