You should drop your car off at a shop in Ga., so when your done with Disneyland you can race. I think Jimmy Jones(jjspec) has room at his shop and probably wont mind storing it there.

I know IFO in general is extreamly lax on tech. Never had problems at the AL events. Someone was telling me the ATL track actually enforces cages on 10sec cars. Any truth to that statement?

Well crap. Sounds like i'll be spectating at best for this one... I drive my car more on the street without a helmet then I do at the track. I just can't justify making it an all out racecar.

See you guys in Montgomery in May.
