Looks fantastic!

I hope you have a connection with tech, 'cause it might be difficult to pass until you bolt a few more parts on...

Kurt, Looks too nice to drive on the track. Did you save any of the 3M paint protector to save it from a rash

No worries, use a rope to tie yourself in and you can run in the special open wheel "experimental" class
