Not blue enough to be oil.
I'm thinking rich mixture coming out of the dragon's tail pipe. I've seen it shoot fire before at Rob's place.

Look at the second picture.

It would appear that a cone has just come out on my exhaust stinger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Hope you don't have a rollover incident. Cause from the side shot looks like your head is barely below roll bar top.

I remember in open wheel racing theres a regulatuion stating where there isn't a ful cage that minimum 2" clearance required between helmeted driver & imaginary line to front roll structure.

JP has the same problem with Roll bars and big Knoggins

I have sat in Paul's car and I could barely see over the dash. Paul's Kirkey seat sits very close to the floor, he is just a tall fella.

I had the seat mounted directly to the floor when I started and found it too low. I couldn't see and I need to be more "on top" of the steering wheel for leverage. So I put two sections of 1/2" square tubing under the seat.

Sweet baby vishnu! I know you've cut a lot out of that car, but the view from the rear makes me wonder how it hasn't collapsed upon itself!

And please tell me more about that snorkel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Great pics Paul. I have precious few pics of my car on course. Every time I see one I spot something I need to change. Does that happen to you?

Are you gonna leave the back end open? I sort of like it. You get to see the "workings"

I'll cut mine out too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

OK Paul, since you didn't volunteer nuthin' and you've driven both (albeit mine for just a bit), how do our cars compare. Be truthful, I can take it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well.... your car was pretty fast. It just seems SO damn heavy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Couldn't really tell much from that course. Being first gear the whole way. One thing I did notice and I was thinking about this tonight when I was working on my car. Your throttle pedal/cable had no tension on it. You barely push it and it goes to the floor. Mine is kinda stiff. I'm going to ease mine up a little. Also crawling in the top is a bitch with that seat for a fat ass like me.

What does yours weigh and how much HP? (let the sandbagging begin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ) Wondering how it compares to mine.

Once again, Thanks a million.

Paul

Yep, the back is staying like it is. REAL easy to get to stuff.
