It seems you've backed yourself into a hole here Frank. You complained that the reason you lost in the past was because of the car and then you bragged that your car will be faster than all of your competition at the next event. Better work hard on some new excuses for April.

You just haven't been at the right place at the right time, or we would have seen you on the podium at the Sebring 12 Hour? Come on Frank...you say you're a better driver than everyone on this forum...which is it? Are you a better driver or on similar level to the guys that beat you? If you're on similar level, it seems like they are all WAY ahead of you on your quest to become a pro driver since they have "wins" in a Time Attack event for their resume.
When the heat gets hot enough, he will run away and start some other ridculous thread, pretending the previous fiasco never happened.

But that's where Project Tsukuba07 comes in... it is a EF Civic hatch back chassis that's acid dipped, and has a $6000 roll cage in it. Seam welded too. It will be the Unlimited Class Time Attack car. I'd go w2w in it, but I think the chassis is too nice should **** happens to it...
pretty siiick air brush work done to the car ehh?

That's some funny **** there folks.
Now how long until we can pull this post up and point out that Time Attack is a pointless place to show if you are good or not since the cars are so vastly different.

I can get a FIA spec cage that I'd go rally in for less than 6K
