Michael...looking good, you still have the rear portions coming? The portions behind the rear tires. Did you get anything for the front? Wing makes a huge change to the overall lok of the car. Great pics too.
Jessie...sorry to hear of your loss. I would assume that this means no pre-SS9 dynos as you'll probably be babying it down to SS9...if it is even ready by then. I'll cross my fingers. I would hate to see those long Sundays not pay off. We did work hard.
to all those who frequently ask when SS9 is....10/28/06
Casey...thank you for the pics.....yummy red

Fog, rain, spinning out, and losing cars, looks like I'm glad I missed the cruise this month!
But very sad I missed the drifting. Last minute change of plans. Sorry Loren, I didn't even get your message until 11pm and we had just gotten into San Diego. My bad, I should have called someone. It's just been so crazy around here lately. I know I got to start working on the calendar soon. Heading over to that thread now to at least read a bit.

oh, I'll wait for the forum hawk to show...if not, I'll fill you in a little later. Came from a question I asked of another member who was competing in B-stock with the MS wing....I got smacked down for my car being in BSP.

another forum member was giving you crap for the ms wing and side skirts?! I could imagine if you had a HUGE wing on there for downforce but I highly doubt the ms wing or SS are weilding any kind of competitive advantage.

MP5 was playing around, just giving me some freshman hazing. He wasnot trying to be a jerk, he was just messing around. But it is true...I am not in the right class...and the MS wing does not provide any advantage other than increasing the weight of my vehicle.

Oh, okay. I thought some of the guys were SERIOUS about your mods being way illegal. mp5 seems like a good guy so just chalk it up to rookie initiation...haha

"Forum hawk" here... my bad Keith, just can't miss an opportunity to get a jab in there. I wouldn't worry about the "illegal" business as any sane person would realize those mods are not helping you. It'd be a lot different if it was not purely cosmetic stuff.
Oh, I think I'll start looking for a calendar pic... oh wait, that's off topic, oh wait, there is no topic here.
