cool. will u be racing it at all?

We’ll see… I am not putting the cart before the horse. I have quite a bit more riding on this than anyone can imagine. I most likely will, but it will be few and far between. Quite honestly, taking a chance racing this car is about the most unintelligent thing I can do at this point. Crashing/severely damaging this car would quite litterally ruin 2 years worth of work, and an unbelieveable amount of time I have put into it… its not like I can just go re-order parts and have them in a few days to repair it. I am talking MONTHS to get parts, even though they are all designed, and MONTHS to rebuild it… not to mention the costs, I dont even wat to go there.

And the insurance company would laugh at me, for sure.

WAR THEY’LL PAY FOR A STOCK ENGINE

(I am loving the war statements right now… I am behind the times…hahaha)
