    My track rat

    Hey guys here in the midwest track season is finally here! So I figured I'd show off some pics of my bucket/bike hauler from first autox of the season, I happened to win my class also, which was a first. First pdx is this weekend at Putnum Park, more pics of that to come, but for now enjoy these.

        you're kidding, right?

        If not,

        1. Not sure that would fly with tech inspection - certainly not with BMW CCA, and doubtful with NASA. I've never gone with 10-10ths, not sure how they would see that.

        2. Major wind resistance - why do you want that?

          True, thanks for the advice, I'll take it off.

              Aww, come on, I could use him as a tow while I'm going down the straight, get an extra 5-6 mph in the draft before I pass.

              Swing wild, brake later, don't apologize.

                More dive than Michael Phelps, looks good though. I dig the rally (or whatever their formal name is) lights too. Hell of a gash on the rear quarter.

                  hmm . . .

                  318is vs your car on the straight - you need the draft to get past him.

                    That was courtesy of a fallen tree in an ice storm last year, too lazy to hammer it out.
