Very nice car. Good luck with your future racing!

 

Good choice. Come play with us in ECHC.

Keith, who doesn' t how far away you are...

 

Excellent decision!

Ugh it probably smells like old german bologna.

Just kidding, good luck on the purchase! I wanted to snag that myself but my wife had to go and get all pregnant on me....

and I'm sure you had nothing to do with that, eh?

 

I know the car pretty well and it's kind of bittersweet to see it go. I'll now get to beat up on Sam next year in ITA though.

Or, you could try on some DRY heat and join us in SoCal for the NorCal/SoCal crossover at Buttonwillow...

She says so but I haven't seen any proof yet. I told her I'm not changing a diaper until I do. How long do you think that will last?!?

hmmm, until she shoves a baby bottle up your butt? Reminds me of a story I heard recently. That guy had a vasectomy before ever meeting his now wife, and had it tested to make sure it worked. Never told his wife. Had their first year anniversary, which is when his wife announced that she was pregnant. Ooops... and he's now looking for the father!

Back on topic...
Welcome to the EF club, indeed. Your car should be pretty well setup by now, but if you need any advice/help/whatever, hit us up!

Reminds me of a joke-

Markus is sitting in the delivery room with his wife when the doctor comes up and says he has a machine that will help divert some of the pain from the mother to the father. Markus agrees to try it out.

After the doctor hooks it up to Markuks, his wife goes into labor, and the doctor turns it up to one.
"Now since you are a man, you should be feeling quite abit of pain, especially in your groin area."
Marcus:"No, not much at all. Actually none."
Doctor Nick: "Well, in that case, I am going to turn it up to 4." "You should be feeling a pain that you have never imagined. So emence you should be begging for death."
Marcus:"Nothing" "Go ahead, crank that sucker up to 10"
Doctor Nick cranks it up to the highest setting and Marcus dosen't flinch. His wife has the baby with almost no pain, and everything is fine. Doctor Nick is completely confused, but happy the machine relieved the womans pain.

Once Marcus and his wife return home with there new born, they find the postman dead on the steps.

But seriously, good luck with the car. I am going to start looking for one this spring, and I hope I find one that is that well built.
