I'm not sure I'll put the passenger seat in my cup. I don't plan to drive it much. Just to make sure everthing is good for the BRIC. I'd be glad to have a passenger in the black car though. We've got a very conservative alignment in it and have put the cats back on but it's still a fun ride.
Look me up.

Luckily, we did not hit anything (and nobody hit us).

Even though I came in my mom's minivan 
I had a lot of fun. It was good eating out with a bunch of you; and I got invited to instruct (and ride in),everything from wonderfully fast turbos to a Noble (445 HP, 2,400 lbs I think), to a nimble Cayman; to one great driver who has definitely some good chops that come from tracking a motorcycle as well as his car while buying stock in Hoosier 
; to another massively fast turbo who's driver sawed at the wheel like crazy while keeping old tires perfectly on line for a smooth fast ride.....proving that a smooth car trumps a smooth steering input any day once you get some real speed going! 
It was a fun day that ended with a phone call that my car's ECU is completely working; the engine is putting out the power, and my car is finished at Protomotive in Arkansas, (there were at least 4 of us who are satisfied customers of Protomotive there at RA). My car is now being sent back to Kelly Moss in Madison, Wi. for the final work. Since my 3rd radiator has been already installed, most of what is left is putting the seats and roll cage back in, getting the car corner balanced, etc. Soon I hope to be driving again

Sorry for the slow response. We stayed raced at the BRIC this weekend and I just got back late last night. Too bad we missed each other. I hope you had a good time.
