Is that a custom anodize job on that Optima with the carbon top deck? Looks sweet. 8)

Well I had a optima as a kid when I raced. First real race car after my hornet. Really enjoyed the car as it was ultra competative at the time.
Once I got hooked on Rv car again 3 odd years ago I started looking at them more. Internet is a evil thing. All those cool toys I could never have as a kid.
The red optima was a ano kit off eBay. All fitted together well. The carbon deck I made with my copier from the original. Just need the gear cover.

Are those Bullet Racing Products narrow front wheels on the white MID?

Hello, no the wheels are actually normal mid wheels dyed purple with the inner edge cut off (before I got the car.)
