Talked to Shearer and the car has a couple things left to do on the chassis. They will be out in 2008!

Why would he? He could never break the 9". Unless there is a rwd class in his future. Nobody knows but I think the awd setup had gotten too dangerous. He spent alot of time chasing the car around.

The car will remain AWD and hopefully it will go a little faster, should be a lot safer as that was the main concern. 195mph with a 10pt cage probably isn't the best idea, especially with a wife and kids back at home.

There never was a 9" in the car either.

I'll keep you guys in suspense for a while. We'll keep the pics to ourselves and give you guys one more good reason to come out to the races.
