Heading out for Norwalk in the morning...looking forward to eating, drinking some martinis on the veranda(tailgate)......and some racing.
Heck, I double-entered it at Piedmont that Thanksgiving! It made 18 runs with 6 teeth gone and at least 3 more chipped.

The first time I hurt a rear in the Volare, I heard it start to make a little noise, and thought, "Well, I should take care of that in the next couple weeks." The experience with Terry's car gave me a false sense of security. Nope, BANG on the very next run. Ever since then, that particular 8-3/4 didn't even give a warning, just bang. Glad to have the Moser60 in there!
