Anyone have a set of 4 lug rims a little wider and taller than the phone dials they would part with or let us borrow?

Congrats on the acceptance! We will be heading down there from Denver for the race with an FB done up like the Delorean from Back to the Future. Our team name is One Point Twenty One Jiggawatts!!

We will have a bunch of spares, not sure how much will be usable in the FC, but stop by our pit if you need anything.

Help Help Help

We need 2 drivers, pm 7dust about price to drive.

Anyone that wants to be in the pitcrew contact him also, but you will have to pay the entry for yourself plus a little towards the racing cost.

Yep, Allen because of all the trouble he has had with his 7's and his brother because he is a looser.

I think we are going to work with Phil on a payment plan for a few weeks.

The car is almost done.

1) Tires
2) Roll Bar Padding
3) Racing Suit
4) Fire Exh
5) Engine mods
6) Backup Engine ( You know we need one)


Here is a video of the Truck/Car (that is are new theme)

7 Dust,

I need specifics on what parts you still need, I think I have some parts that I can "trade" you for say a piece of special vintage interior of trim that you need to get rid of

^^^ The car is gutted and everything is ****-canned.

We need truck mirrors, clearance lights for the roof, and an air horn so we can mount the trumpets on the roof.

I think we only need a fire extinguisher bracket and a harness to make the car race ready.

If you have other goodies, let us know.

What performance goodies are you lacking that could make your life nicer? How about some used 4pot calipers. I got a couple of S5 vert parts cars that have those, I am sure you can find some kind of plastic **** to trade me for them. You really need to give me call, you will probably have to leave a message for me so I can get back to you. Also it would be a good idea to arrange a time to come parts hunting at my place in Cibolo Texas. Drag Keith along with he wants to see the new shop 12k sq feet, also bring Nut-head along with you I hear he also wants some Cosmo parts

I've got a Simpson 5 point cam-lock harness (bolt in attachment and bolts included) I am not using as I just replaced my belts. I'll ship it you if you wouldn't mind shipping it back at a later date.

If you are still looking for drivers, please PM me details and price.

We have a RV to cook and stay in during the event, and I have the transport of the car down. The truck and trailer is allways wanting to pull somthing down the road.

Phil is also thinking about being the mobile hot tub to the track.

Any non-assclowns that want to drive - you are looking at a $400 investment as it stands. Non-assclown status is more important to us than the $400.

You would be getting a deal:

$1200 in entry fees has been paid.
The cage was $350-ish and hours of fitting and welding.
LOTS of time prepping the car plus other expenses that I just don't have the time to itemize.

I want to keep the number of total drivers down to 4 because you really don't save any money adding extras to split the bill since an additional driver is $150 in fees.

Your money gets you entered and we have a prepped car with 90% of the hard work done. Its about 13 hours total of driving but we can't say how much seat time you get. We will try and split it the best we can. No refunds, no guarantees. If the car blows up, won't start, gets killed, or anything you understand thats just how it goes.

I think at this point, I have one opening.
