The car has been sold. so you guys will have to try and enjoy things without me. The title was signed over today. Im wishing everyone (no exceptions) the best of luck and a fast and safe season. It was fun racing with you guys and at the same time raising the hair on some necks. Im sure im gonna miss it but time goes on.

You are soooooooo lucky you sold the car 'cause I was just about to turn the boost up and beat on your ***

Mike, it's been a real pleasure. I hope that you won't become a stranger to this forum or racing.

BTW, I dig that golf cart but I can't use it at the Pro 8

Where did the car go... is it still in the Northeast ? Do you know where the new owner plans on racing it?

Good luck I was gonna take the cats off my car & see if I could hang with you... but now I'll just leave it alone

Mike, well best of luck to you. Hope to see you at the track occasionally, don't be a stranger. Enjoy your boat, if I had enough room for the trailer I would buy it. I predict however....that you'll build another car that will be even faster.

That might be doable however I think Paul would have to remove 2 of the wheels just to keep it real....

Mike, don't be a stranger. Your car was awesome and you are a hell of a driver as well.

Hope to see you in something just as good if not better.

Good luck with your future endeavors, whatever they may be. In the meantime, will you perhaps be changing your forum name to "noets?"
