Heck I was waiting for some imbedded flash player to kick in looking at the pictures knowing his ability with movies and have lightning or something coming from his finger pointing guns
You should do that next time btw or just have the light sabers on in the back of the car.

ahh yes, I had a hood 'malfunction' while on transit (car was on the trailer) to a track and the hood flew open at 75ish mph, wrappiong itself over the window and slamming into the roof, adding some 'character' :-)

the bullet cam I had mounted on the roof actually saved the lexan windsheild and roof from taking more serious damage!! lol

It is a race car. There are good stories behind every bit of character on the car.

Wouldn't it be fun to talk to a racer about his car and its battle scars at a car show instead of the wincing at the show and shine people talking about how the body kit is their favorite mod to the car- lol.

There was a great interview on one of the American Touge videos where the guy who bought a bunch of stuff for his car and had others install it gets really exited and his eyes light up when talking about the body kit he had installed. Obviously his favorite part of the car.

I always laugh so hard right there...

FABIAN!!!great to hear from you man!!

I will make it back your way one of these days and we will run an enduro together for sure,
You are one of the few that would really appreciate where I have taken the car over the years ;-)

hope you are healthy and racing!!!



PS
For those who do not know, I purchased this car from Fabian, he had it setup very well and I got to test drive it at Leguna Seca before the purchase. Little did I know how far down the path that purchase would take me :-)

I feel like my baby's all grown up.....LOL.

Anyhow, so happy to see the ol beast doing what she's supposed to be doing, kicking some *** on the track. No garage queen there. Love it.

All good out here. Still racing the 1st Gen STOHR. It's a hard fight against the newer generation cars but we still pull out some wins here and there and certainly a lot of podiums. If I can get some cash flow next year maybe I'll be at RA for the runoffs. This year it was a runaway for the newer gen cars, though. The aero on that car is so superior. Lots of work to do this winter (tunnels maybe??)

I'm serious about the 25 hour thing. Have always wanted to do it, and what better car and codriver could I ask for!!

Take care bud. Keep up the good work. Talk soon.

Fabian

Woah that is a really nice looking setup you have...

Btw where in Minnesota are you?
I am going to guess around Fargo/Morhead area (I saw fields and a rather familiar Farm).

Since you are talking crazy 25 hour enduro's, I'm sure Andrew would be another driver but I'd also volunteer
