Nice George. Is this getting done in VA? Do you mind posting how much labor and parts are costing you?

Ah ha! I didn't know you were getting a cage. Of course, with the way you and others were talking, I shoulda guessed!

Fortunately, the other H1 suckers have no where else to play, so there should still be a good turnout of them this year in the ECHC... (hmm, would you like some salt with your wound?) Are you racing soon?

I can't tell by a picture.. is that a K20R or whatever the DC5 ITR has? How much is a swap costing nowadays?

Have fun dealing with Ross' complaints about how you've ruined the purity of the DC2 ITR by swapping in a K20.

A couple of Honda Challenge drivers have offered to show me what it'd do, yes. LOL....

Yep, I've fended off a few complaints already.

I'd rather not say what everything cost. It was a package deal and I'm not even sure what the cage ended up costing by itself.

No, I'm really not a good enough driver to go racing. And yes, it is a DC5 ITR motor, 220 HP out of the box. Wondering how it'll tune out with the K Pro.
