I can write on a big check, it just won't be for very much

I can write a huge check if they agree not to deposit it. ;-)


Just out of curiousity, I wonder what kind of coin they get for this.

It varies. A car and team with a shot at winning, I think the going rate these days is north of $50K.

The one driver I know who's running with the team, Mike Skeen, is a top tier driver. Not sure who else is on the list but if you want an opportunity to learn/compare to a guy who produces some of the most beautiful data this is the chance. Mike's fast in everything he gets in. Low power to high power he's fast. Won his first World Challenge GT start. Lap records in TransAm, etc.

The car itself is pretty nice. Sounds awesome and I know they've been working hard to get it down to minimum weight as the last couple times they've run, it has been very very overweight. They've done a fair amount of testing at VIR this last year with the final goal being this 24.
