I was HOPING you were gonna get stuck with the tab.

I liked the Radical, but thinking about writing 10k checks for carbon fiber damage makes you a little slow in the corners.

So I went a different route..............................

I bought it. Who is Doug!

Nationwide speedway car. Brand new 2010. Tested only. Team ran out of money. On its way to Van Gordon for repower and setup.

Should be interesting.

How much did you pay for the Cup car? We have a local BRCC member who just bought a Nationwide short track car for $16,000. Car is completely set up and runninng with new motor, but must be reconfigured for road race.

There are alot of cars out there. Most are pretty beat up. This one I got without the drivetrain as I am having something built to be reliable and go on pump gas.

I am gathering info for suspension set ups. There is quite a bit to do to change to roadcourse set up.
