Default Flares anyone!

A friend of mine took this picture when visiting Maui.


Maybe this will work?

Belong to anyone here? Does Maui have a road course? What do you think.

Holy crap those are huge.

That is ridiculous. Both the tires and the flares (more like eves or shelves) are silly. The paint is pretty wacky, too. What ever possessed somebody to do that to a perfectly good Corvette?

Bet this one was a blast to drive when it was running. Sidepipes and steamroller tires. Get on the loud pedal and hang on. :smash:

Plus it is a bumper car. :cool:

Twin_Turbo, are those pictures from Bubba Racing? Those guys look like they're members of the Redneck Road Race Association. Talk about a conglomeration of add-ons. Simply amazing.

Burners, I'm not sure who those guys are but they have 3000+ $ modular Jongbloed racing wheels. Hardly bubba stuff.
