Less and less all the time...

I cannot wait for my 10T rear tower to show up....my RPM worlds armed runner WILL get this same look "Siebenelched"....and my painter has promised me a BK copy paint job .

Awesome looking runner there Temple....


You could always REALLY mess up the kids and put RC10 B5 stickers on there...

HEY! CAMEL GT! I assume from the old Columbus GP..... those were the good ole days of IMSA (grew up going to all the races in Florida, Sebring, Daytona, Miami GP, West Palm GP, etc.)

My wife wants the Michelin man sign.

Like the Datsun PU too. Nice!

Actually...I've got some spare Axial Scorpion decals... The RC10 Scorpion...

The CGT banner is from the last Columbus 500, but I've got a stack of event programs for the one after that, that they cancelled so they could do Ameriflora (Amerihorror) instead. International Money Spending Association... Remember, Al Holbert died flying out of Columbus in 1988... and his dad just passed away.

962's screaming down Spring St... god that was cool.

I always loved the turbo wine when the upshifted or downshifted. GREAT NOISE!

Sorry, it a 956 but...

There's a video floating around... there are less cars now, all the VW's and one of the Citroens are gone. Need some pinball machines?

No pinball machine for me but did you get rid of the (B) Acadiane or the Charleston?

Btw, nice couvre-chef... .

Actually Belgium built AK400, yes it sold, I still have the Charleston until the spring time. Can't really sell those in the winter. Unless you want to take it someplace warm?

merci... Just a grumpy old guy in a beret...

AK 400 and many others, Belgium has a top notch weapon factory, aka Fabrique Nationale...

I saw an FN motorcycle from 1908... The Forrest factory built many Citroens, I know.

Speaking of tachys, boosts and turbo noises:

Hey temple, be sure to hit us up with a track report after you get the chance to run that bad boy

Just waiting on batteries... My old 2000's (and 1400, 1700) just wont cut 6 min quals and 7 min mains... I dug up a CO27 motor that was in a lot of 1/12th stuff, and will likely put in my GM V12 ESC, just because it's German. Assuming there's enough stock buggies to have a class... I'll race stock, but for mod I can put in any number of old Tri-Sonic or DS mod motors if I have to. I experimented with some different rear springs (on the bench) including blue truck fronts. Seems that green rears are the best. The blue truck front springs in the rear would be awesome for the first round of qualifying...

How much more stood up are the rear shocks with the truck tower? I might do the same to my runner, mill down the chassis and slam the shell
