Now I wish I would have been able to make the meet at your shop. Was that car there?

actually the car is in Florida, until very very early this morning it was in Mooresville, NC. We are displaying it at the PRI show. This car was built by Atlantic Autosport and we bought it as the first of four cars, since it was already done

Pricing the same on the 8s? How about the old 7? How much do I win when I school fools (kidding)

those should be good for you at the track though.

Cheers!

Jonathan, my costs are about the same.

Scratch that, not even this would be enough. Keep that in mind. lol

fair warning. If you don't watch me close enough I'll put a 20B in one of the 3 more we still have to build...

Well the car is still sitting in Florida, but despite the best of our plans we were not able to make the Daytona race yesterday. The drivers who are commited to be in the car for the season had a delay in getting there funding, which meant we stayed home. Its really too bad, as our car easily would have run up front and been the best Challenger in the field.
We also had interest in running one of the RX8's in yesterdays race, but without the Challenger there it just did not make good financial sense to show up with a single RX-8, especially since it was here in Colorado and we would have had to haul ### across country to make it in time.

Next race is St Petersburg, Florida at the end of March. Will try and keep things updated.

ahhhhh you would have to talk to the finance office about that, and they are closed for holiday.

BTW, I saw you on Orchard the other day in the Miata, hard to miss with that hood. It looked good going down the road.
