Default Bob Mk II-->The Pimpyest ITC Car Ever





Lets see...
Sunbelt Motor - Check!
New Revalved Konis - Check!
New Paint Job - Check!
Volks - Check!
Rebuilt Tranny with 4.73 FD - Check!
New hubs and bushings - Check!
Win the ARRC - We'll find out in 6 days

Big thanks to Phils Tire Service, Kirk, OPM, Automarx, RoadRaceGear, and Delta Group for all their help. Also a big fat "can't thank you enough" to Lee Grimes at KONI (CRXLee) for not only loaning us a set of his personal dampers, but staying after hours at work to rebuild and freshen them for us .

Scott, who says that even if we don't win we tried really really hard and gridded a damned pretty car.

Every dent is gone. Every single one. And the black paint is mirror quality reflective. Automarx Motorsports Paint and Body did the work and I was speechless the first time I saw the car. It's almost too pretty to race.

Scott, hoping the curse of the freshly painted race car passes over our paddock spot this weekend.

It'll look even better with the letters "ITB" on its side

Too much gap between the tires and fenders - you need to lower that shizzle ASAP!

Looking good - best of luck at the ARRC.

I'll be punching you in the neck the next time I see you.

Cousin Crack - It currently sits at minimum ride height. Funny what 21.5 inch tall tires can do to that slammed shizzle look yo .
Shock travel -&gt; We gots plenty.

Wow--Volks on an ITC car: bling bling.

(yes, I see the irony of my being impressed by race wheels on a race car )

Most pro motocrossers will get receive their freshly painted helmet, look it over once or twice... then either drop it on the ground or smack it against something to put some sort of scratch in it so they get that out of the way without getting hurt Perhaps a light key-inflicted nick on the underside of the rear bumper is in order?

BTW, the car does look seriously nice. Would make a good showcar, lol. Hopefully it makes a great racecar and blingtimidates the competition, good luck at the ARRC!

Since you mentioned your sponsors, I'll put in a quick shout out to philstireservice.com. That guy who bought Catch 22's old car kicks a lot of ***. As does Kirk, and OPM, and CRX Lee...seeing a pattern here?

You guys actually look ready. Hope to get down there to watch you roll ALL in that poor little 4 speed...

Racing is hard, time consuming and financially irresponsible. Having folks like this to work with makes things much, much, much easier. This car would not be even close to where it is in prep level and blingyness without the help of these folks. They can't be thanked enough.

That paint scheme does have a tad bit of familiarity to it Seems I saw something similar in SCCA Pro Racing and liked it then.

Quite pimpy there, uncle catch. That actually looks quite professional. I'd feel &lt;obligated&gt; to win if I were driving a car that purty. Now, the real question is: does your Sparco-that-the-chicks-dig-so-much match the paint job?

It needs a bit more green.

Seriously though, it looks fast.

No, seriously this time... nice work and good luck.
