I'm just so proud I could "BURST"
Not as PROUD as I was when 152 HP went to 165 HP though
ALHFS Is hit him 8.6% at once. LOL

Artie,
It's not the fact that they noticed you, you're hard to ignore.
It's how they noticed you. Seems like it's alway something picky that doesn't have any influence on performance.
Now they'll invoke some rule about the body parts not all having matching paint.
Good luck.

Knowing you as well as I do, I am of the opinion that doing such a thing would not have been the smart thing to do. After reading the rulebook I can not see that the fenders in question were illegal in any way.I think they did you a favor. I pity the competition! Jim

It wasn't me Jim. Art is my friend too and if I know of anything that he is doing which isn't 100% legal and I feel it gives him an advantage over me I'll call him myself and we'll talk about it. As of now Art is going faster than me because he's been working on his car and spending money to get there. As Art stated, the steel replacement fenders he had to buy are lighter than the glass ones - I told him that two years ago.
