Yeah...competed at the Nationals a few times (4 way trained & 8 way pick-up), NJ state record for awhile (100 way), took a year off last year because I started putting the 993 on the track, and can only afford one ridiculously expensive hobby at a time

another one from Toronto where one driver backed the car into the wall, exploding the gearbox...

Talk about a see-through cut-away of our gearbox....

Wooohooooo... wild ride! That's a trick looking gearbox. Not Hewlands anymore, I take it??

Bobby Rahal bolting to the Twirl... announcing today. Also a rumor he's trying to take over the Atlantic series. Don't know how that could happen, considering its owned by OWRS. Hope Danica doesn't end up in IPS.

Saw the Rahal news just a few minutes ago as I am home sick today.. Thought I would log into work email, and what do you know....

Good news is that Michel Jordain is staying with us in Champ car. Good move Michel!!

Rahal has always spoken very highly of the Atlantic series, so maybe he has interest?

I think Rennlist should start a Champ Car team. We could all put our money together....piece of cake....what do you guys think?

Our gearbox's are still manufactured by Hewland, but to our design.. The SG3 Atlantic 'box is great. The sequential ratchet mechanism is AWESOME, especially compared to the previous NST gearbox..

Sounds like Booby is keeping his 2 cars in FA. Hmmmmm..... wonder how he's going to feel walking around the paddock? Kinda cold, I'll bet.

Chris, who is Chris Festa? Where did he come from?

Let's see... I'm guessing a Champcar is $5m per season? If there are a thousand of us, that's only $5k each. Not bad!! If I had VIP tickets and pit passes for each race, it would almost be worth it.

Trouble with us starting a Champ car team, is we couldn't fit PSS-9's and RSR mufflers on the car...

HHMMMMM.....

I am not sure where Chris Festa came from, sad to admit really. At a recent test, he was about a second off the pace. His speed will come with time....

Danica says she has NO desire for the Infiniti Pro-Series or IRL, bless her heart...
