Default ...and....here....we.....GO!

No time to complete graphics package, but the car is loaded up and heading to its first race event today! The ONLY goal is to see the checkered flag at the end of every session, drive UNDER it, and put the car in the trailer in the same condition that it is in now!

Off-topic, but that looks like some really nice concrete work on your driveway. Why all the expansion joints? Just for style?

Hehe, was done before my time here, but it is a HUGE driveway. I assume they did it both for future crack relief and the fact that, being so big, it NEEDED to be broken up visually. Thanks!

Car looks great have a good time and bring it home safe.

I guess green is not bad luck in racing anymore was a time when you would never see green on a race car or peanuts in the pits.
