Nice wheels!

Either a tiger or alpine.

I'll ask Maxwell Smart, or 99.
Are those real minilites or panasports?
I have a set of minilites for sale cheap.
Wait, gotta go, the cone of silence decends.

Glenn. Get with it! ITB needs some cars, I think we've scared off the cheaters, now we just need some more real racers. When and where was your last race?
Cheers.

John, The Rabbit is no more it was parted out. Chris saved all the go fast goodies and wants to build another car ITC or ITB but for now he is working out of town. He is SCCA current so he wants to race the pinto too! The engine and trans are all freshed up and we did not have any problems in testing.. You know Holtville if it is going to fall off it will there. later Lobster
