Jerry Stout now has my C6 Katech car. He is a good driver and friend. I am sure you will see it again and it has a good home.

We have a race car.

You certainly had a great C6Z. Looks like you'll have a great C7Z, and that new red rocks.

Have fun, and enjoy in good health.

It's finished, but not yet delivered back to me. I'm a few days away from having it. I'm looking forward to it. Driving season doesn't end in my area until December, so I'll still have some time to play.

Hopefully you'll get your new Z in time to get to know it a bit before winter hits.

They really are fun rigs.
