with brake problems--I believe they were afraid of all the speed on track.

So Len, that's what a C7 looks like?

Didn't get a chance to try the R80's, damn car broke - or more correctly, wasn't quite fixed from the last time it broke. Maybe we need to work on that ASA class for NASA.

It has the heart and mind of a C5 along with some fiberglas body panels but a C7 it is not.

Todd told me about the engine issue. Sorry to hear about it.

Len, I think Charlie is asking for a few slices more than others.

Hope to see that new car at Putnam on the 3rd.

Charlie, do you fix jaws or bust chops...

I'm looking forward to jousting with the Blue Knight on Monday. I have several new skunkworks mods that will shred the competition...including the Pale Blue Knight or is it Baby Blue Knight as Photon refers to it.

Man--you must be drinkin the same brew as Futon and Black Sunshine.
Raft detuned Blue Thunder 40 hp to make TTS. Blue is the only color for Z06 and there are several others you may have to contend with--be careful of them Be wary of the POPP!
