WHERE IS THE RACE CAR? - 07.07.07

Well where do I start. Yes I will race the car again but I doubt it will make any passes this season.

It came down to safety. The car could have still run the way it was and I am sure it would have clicked off some 7.5s but if I had an accident there was a good chance at well over 195 mph that I may not be around. Please remember I have a wife and 3 kids to support as well.

So as it sits the car has been acid dipped, everything from the front to the back has been taken apart and it currently has a 25.1e chassis so it will be safe and legal for 7.5 and quicker. The car was making very good progress but we finally came to the realization that it would not be ready for the beginning of the season so the decision was made to take our time and do things that we have wanted to try and as always make it unique.

All I can promise you now is that I promise you will not be dissapointed!
