VR was what I called your average racer...Not afraid to spend money for the good stuff.
Massaging older parts is an art form that very few competitive racers want to do, in 2023.
If NB had lived near BN, he might have saved himself some real money, but he didn't.
;-)
BTW, running .60 under in a RWD car, with a bunch of used parts, isn't as easy as it sounds.

Sorry I wasn't clear Mark. I meant older technology not used parts. Please don't take my comments the wrong way, in no way do I believe that doing that is easy. I was just thinking if VR is anything like me he has new unused parts stuck back that will probably never be used and friends that are the same. Cool thought provoking story though.
