But who is the mystery driver in that picture leaning against the car?

Never mind, I just got the email. The crew is always the last to get the news.

That's Kevin's new driver. Kevin hired him to replace Chris. I haven't met the guy yet, but supposedly the only thing he can't fix is one of those data acquisition boxes. Chris told me the guy was a killer engineer.

The remote control of the car can be pushed thru as a safety option. You cant get hurt if you are not in the car.

Looks like the only thing missing is the altimeter.

And he had better have one.

Cause if he doesn't shut down quick and somehow hits the end of that 1800 foot extension cord........ he is going airborn...

Too funny! I've said this for years. You've got a throttle stop, a delay box, and an air or e-shifter. At that point all that your doing is guiding the car.

A guy I work with has a decent Mustang bracket car. Hate to admit it, he's good. When he descibes all the gadgets he has and all the prep he goes through to make it all work. Too much reliance on technobabble for me.

What ever happened to just lighting the tires, a couple good dry hops, staging the car and running your race?

I don't see the Easy button Kevin... Almost looks like that white Camaro a friend used to race with a push pull lever. You need to browse that JC Whitney catalog for a few more speed devises and a new hat and glasses for Alan. :)

You only see the Easy button when the cloaking device that hides the electronic devices is engaged. You have to wear that silver "Cylon" looking helmet to see the Head Up Display.

That's all the secrets you're going to get. I'm not telling anyone about the tricks in the cigar.

The hats come from Stetson, the glasses from Crossfire.

You have friends? Who knew? :D
