^^^ Admittedly its not one of my favorite paint schemes but it was tossed together late at night after working all day.

I think it looks pretty good all things considered.

Here is the plan for February at MSR:

We want to run two cars AND we are going to yank the bridgeport in favor of another turbo motor. Thats right, we want to run two turbo rotaries.

We are locking in the number of drivers at 8 maximum between the two cars.

Buy in cost is $300 per driver plus your Lemons fees and 2011 license. The $300 covers consumables (tires, brakes, fluids) and repairs to the car. Not a bad deal considering ONE set of good tires will cost $600.

The only thing extra will be fuel cost and the turbo rotary sips fuel compared to the bridgeport and is WAY more fun to drive.

PM Me.
