Hey Brett.... I had an opportunity to look at your car at Mike Cook's shop a
couple of months ago.... nice looking chassis.... Mike did a super job on
designing and building a quality ride for you.... I liked lots of things
about it..... especially the tanks he built into it as well as the
pre-planned ballast locations.....
congrats on your first outting....... K
