Kevin, whats to be afraid of a c/c machine? I've bought "coke-a-cola from a machine hundreds of times and never had any problems. Steve does that mean I can come up at about noon and get some mod's done? I promise not to drink to much beer and eat more than one donut. Thats if anything would be left by noon. Ken

Yeah, they protect the bottom of the car when you go off roading, purposely or not.

I saw the piece and the aftermath, I am certainly glad that the under strut bar was sacraficed. Otherwise you car would have been out of commision. I am glad I have one of those installed just in case.

O, but it is

Ya, armando. If it had not been there, The entore sub frame assembly, would have probably taken the brunt of that impact. As it is, there was absolutley no underbody damage. It doesn;t get any better

Ken, you best bring a bucket full of quarters to feed this coka-ma-cola machine.

Shelly- they drink good beer, the kind that goes good with donuts, unlike the brand you had the other day.

Happy birthday and make sure and put a candle on the donut that goes with your light beer. Oh, I forgot your only going to be 19 so your not old enough to drink beer. At least enjoy the donuts. Ken

Got my MTTS packet today! Not much time left to set up the cars for the trip, but I'll do my best. The Cosworth head not going to have much time to be tested before we leave, so I hope I don't *****-up.

Steve

It'll be hard to get up to the speed limit the first day of MTTS since there are over 700 on that skinny little road.
