What I've been up to....

John Boos and I are co-owners of this WC car. He has an SCCA Pro license and I just do open track days. I've driven this car 3 times in the last two weeks and it drives like a dream. We are set to go to Laguna Seca next week for its World Challenge GT race debut. We tried at Road America, but suffered a practice day crash that took us out. We were trying to sort the car 2 days before its first race and let's just say that didn't work. We are hoping not to be a back marker, but it is its first race and the driver's first time at Laguna.

Just post the pic again and make it a link rather than a pic, Ron. I'm not very good at resizing myself

btw, best of luck with your new 'team'. Hope it is a successful venture for you!

Hey Ron,

Thought I heard you, or at least the car was down at Autobahn too a few weeks ago too. I think Mr. A was doing some testing.

Thanks everyone. Joe, that was John testing at Autobahn a few weeks ago. I guess for his first time at that track he was pretty fast. Zippy, DRM also built a WC car this year for a guy in Fla. Ivo, thanks for the resize!!!
