    It's me, 3 guys always involved in vehicular mayhem from my college days, and a guy who answered an ad about some RX-7 parts I was selling on craigslist that actually turned out to be a great guy. HAH!

    So, 5 drivers and two crewmen (one who proudly carries the "crew chief" designation).

    Cool. That was a fun read and sounded like you had a good time.

    High 1:40s is a very good time for Gingerman too. Especially for a rookie team on with a lemons car on some cheapy street tires. Impressive!

    Thanks guys

    Car went back to another guy's house after the race. I haven't seen it since. My understanding is that there's no mechanical work being done, but it did get painted!

    Hopefully he drags this USPoS mobile back across the state next week sometime...I need to make sure my Chevy Beretta 15x7 wheels will clear the brakes, install a brake proportioning valve on the rear line so they quit locking up so badly, and oh yeah, replace the transmission. lol
