Tony,

I looked at photos of that car when brad posted them a short while back... and its awesome...
I'm absolutely sure that you know the rules, I just learned the hard way that I myself didn't understand them when I started out in this hobby.

don't get me wrong, I think your front plates are pretty amazing, and I'd like to have them... but out here I'm pretty restricted in the number of locations I'd have to play with a car like that......

When I did my first ever drivers-ed back in 91, I thought I had a cooooool... street car. I showed up and got blown away... mostly because of lack of skill. As I developed some minor experience, I learned that my cool street car was also uncompetetive because of the modifications on it which placed it into a pretty high class.

I ended up rebuilding and respending alot of money.
Its been my experience that those of us less lucky than the west coast... usually have to go through PCA to have somewhere to play.... and PCA does not take fondly of major mods... The local open track days around here are (in my opinion) a bad/unsafe place to play. My buddy was at an open track day last thursday with no ambulance, no corner workers, and not enough structure... I spent the entire last winter helping him build the car, and last week he ended up in a wall with the frame bent.... complete chassis total.

Beautiful work.... I would give my front tooth for a ride in that v-8 monster....
