Default Snitz Track Car/Pre Launch Pics!/Thursday!!!

I can’t believe it. This thing’s actually going to roll down the track in 48 hours. I must be dreaming!

Don: Are you happy, I put on the frickin tow hook!











Look, it’s floating in mid air?


“Nick, George Jr. and Mark” standing by the monster they created. Great job men!!! Thanks to Bob, Brett, Dustin& all the folks at EPP who put the engine/drive train in this puppy also
!


We even remembered the tow hook in back.

Your paint design dude! PS. The fluorescent lighting makes the blue look washed out. Believe me, in person it looks 100% cooler. Once we get some shots of it on track, w natural light you will like even better. Great job.

Snitz, good job on the tow hooks. Hope you never need them

There's just ONE MORE THING you will need . . . .

A TRAILER

This BEAST has to come with Mikey and I to Road America, Putnam, VIR, etc. Since I sincerely dislike trailering, maybe you and I can find a deal on having our cars brought to VIR this year!

See ya Thursday!

She's Alive!

Better pictures tomorrow but here are a few of the maiden lap!







On non slicks, cold pavement and just shaking out the car it ran some very scary lap times. I may be in trouble.
