Default I have a Great wife !

Not only does she support me having 2 race cars, but when our temperatures recently got into the single digits, she readily agreed to move her car outside and my 2nd race car into the garage to avoid an antifreeze risk!

Yes, you do. Besides that, she is practical, too. Keep her.

Keep her and I will marry her sister, her sister will have to move to SoCal where the only freeze is your frozen margarita.

Regarding the skirts, I will have to put something together.

The nose on both cars are the same. They are from Performance AFX. Contact Robert Finlayson.

You're a lucky man Ed!


When did you buy the #69? I've seen pictures of that car online and always thought it was one of the nicest around.







Great work with the aero on ole Red.

Ed, I didn't know you bought the Green beast from Mike Guyer? That is an awesome car, sad to hear he sold it but I know its in good hands.

I knew that car when it was pretty much a stock 90-91 polo green car. We used to run TT at Summit point in 1997 thru 07 with the northern Virginia Corvette Club at the Jefferson Circuit.

It was cool to watch him slowly gut and make the car into a full blown racer.

Cheers and enjoy it!

It most likely would have been fine. It was cold for like 18 hours But none the less that's great that she let you park it inside for the just in case.

Aaron,
Yes, as Woods said, it was Mike's car. I am really happy to have it. It is a very well done car. Just had to get a second cage bar added to passenger side to get the racing log book. It sailed right thru inspection.

Randy,
You had to get some humor out of or recent weather. From where you came, this single digit cold was nothing, but unusual for us.

Tool Hoarder,
Yes, I wrap the wing that is going to be exposed to the sun. Over the winter it is the car not in the trailer. Now I need to get more material so I can cover both the one not in the trailer and the one at the track.
