Here's an old shot of Tom Kerr's car. My how things have changed!

Just a little different wouldn't you say?




Pretty extreme transformation. I threw in a few more pics I forgot I had...










Here's a shot of me strapping in to go for some hot laps with the lunatic that is Tom Kerr

Looks great now! I was looking through my phone and found a day 1 photo of the camo project. It's amazing how much different a car can look in 6 months - 1 years time, to the point no one recognizes it as being the same!

SpeedYellow has a spectacular aura aboutSpeedYellow has a spectacular aura aboutSpeedYellow has a spectacular aura about
SHWING!

Maybe a dumb question but has the wing gone through a compete wind tunnel dest by a qualified aerodynamicist in order to determine the value @ speed? Lovethe car. Just wondered how you decided on the wing given that a little too much wing can create unanticipated suspension and speed issues.

Repeat: Love the car.

Scott I know it looks crazy and I looked at many recent Cup cars before I pulled the final plug. but as many of us know once you HAVE a car and are really into it, it really is more cost effective to me with the current market worth of my car to just go the rest of the way. I have the car turning 996 cup car times now. my plan will drop another 2-300 pounds from the car and I will race it in GT-1. may sound crazy but fun as ****. and I love the car!!
if I had known I would have started with the Cup car but hindsight is 20/20
Mike the car currently the last time out at Sebring is wicked fast. will now turn sub 2:20 minute laps and for me at Sebring that is smoking!!
the cup doors and roof off and lexan windows will be it, then we will see.
