    I felt like pampering myself yesterday over lunch and was able to watch my "Autographed and Numbered (he forgot to fill in the numbers)" Plugzit 348 movie CD.... How fun is that?!

    Sick? Surely! But a Movie Star with good taste none the less.

    Just my jealous envy showing Ernie.... He is the King, he has the Moose, I Need a Moose. It's much like the dash mounted, Grass Skirted, OEM Ferrari Hula Doll... your nobody in this market until you have a REAL one.

    Just because I have now bought up the entire production of the National Grass-skirted Hula Doll Company doesn't mean I'm trying to prevent anybody from having one!

    I figured as much but one must have a keen eye to spot an original. Fortunes have been lost paying for counterfeit's.

    For the first time in a long time I went to the shop to get some serious business done and unpacked the secret stuff. It's time to play.... and there are red cars to whoop!

    Uh-oh,. Those cam followers look suspiciously gold-toned. Do I detect a 10k rpm 348 hotrod motor?
    Our mere Roush "stock" motor is gonna need to appeal to the GFRT officials for handicap!
    How much are we gonna have to put up for a protest fee? (to see the inside of that puppy)

    Naw, 'stock' with a little spray can touch up. A little old nothing spare I had bagged up and laying around in the machine room. Nothing to see here, no handicap required.

    She no longer buys that line FBB, I tried it this evening.

    So, in consideration of your lesser competitors, you intend to put in a lower horsepower motor_is that what you're saying????
    Nothing to see here people, show's over, just move along........

    NOOOOO, nothin' like that. I'm working on a lameass idea I'm sure will amount to nothing. I'm missing enough parts to throw this together so I have to glue on some old junk discards laying on the shelf. Think of it as a desperate attempt by an old guy that already knows he is beaten by the big boys, a Hail Mary, bailing wire & bubblegum, Sanford and Son thing if you will.

    I was just going to give this old stuff to Ernie but he never finished his project so... rather than throw it all in the dumpster.... As our esteemed GFRT Technical Director FBB said, "the car has to run to make it to the grid" and you heard how miserably poor that Sprint engine was running. I don't understand this lower HP thing you speak of, that engine was just missing a lot when I pulled it in the shop. Think of it as an attempt to field a rickety old car just so you guys have something to lap every few go around's. Remember, in this sport we TURN left and right and a session lasts for more than 6 seconds at a whack. Get with Vince and Ernie, they will go over that with you.

    Bruce should be just fine. He just needed a day or two to collect himself after I emailed him a pic of a Christmas card I received from a good Friend/Customer yesterday. I feel it safe to predict he just opened the still tap and let er flow in his eyes for a while. Just spreading a little Christmas Joy with good friends during the Holiday Season (while gaining a day or two jump on my competition while his eye's are healing).

    Dave's insanity might drive me to drinking........I hope in the future he'll post just exactly what he is up to with that engine.

    I think that Dave is somehow related to Michelotto with a touch of panzer blood in there somewhere.....he will definitely be penalized by fbb when it comes time for GFRT technical inspection.....I want a 9 lap head start on our first 10 lap race...lol

    I forgot about my highly modified 355.

    Turbo lightweight...approx. 2300lb

    It will stay veiled until I move it into the new shop.

    Handles like a gocart and will get down the road at super super high speeds...lol

    They were a major PITA...got a dentist to do the mold carving and then had to do a frp hood and radius it to match the headlights.

    Also modified the front bumper(the bumper and right and left fenders are all one piece lift off) for different turn signals and fog lights....

    The paddock is gonna be really interesting at the first GFRT race. Apparently Helms has a new dual element wing. Was only gonna use a single element on the 358, but now, who knows, maybe we need canards on the doors ferchrissake.

    Ok, I'm sick, but you belong in the ICU!
    I think you need a mounted animal to balance the decor.
