Wow Rog, nice save.

What happen?

This what you were reffering to back end gettin sketchy up top?

Ever think about running a wider tire and rim out back, will it help?

I think its time for a nice aero front? Seems your getting quite some air under the car...

I was waiting for you to post this, man you had to see this from the stands but you'll feel proud to know everybody in the stands said at the sametime "damn that Prelude was fast" lol nobody has concern for another human, but the knew the blue train hauled ***. Good save man I got a picture of it right after you guys got it on the trailer, she lives on to see another day.
