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. Attached image(s) |

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) Mike T |

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)

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 |
