I'll familiarize myself with the plethora of rules later. Grimm puts on a good show and the time/format is manageable so count Parcells in on most of these races.

Max, you have Yokohama and Dunlop on your cars....?

Does the plate have to be the colors you have, although that's pretty neutral really, I can live with that.

It is possible to have the team car use 1 tyre company and a series to be sponsered by another

Spent 2 hours with a simple paint and tune.  I would like to compare with another tune if someone wouldn't mind gifting a tune to xsite. 

Thanks

Grim,

Can you send Parcells the build too please and thank you.

Anyone,

Parcells dont paint but I can probably apply the correct number board per the rules. If anyone wishes Parcells car to not be the default color it comes with when I purchase it feel free to send me a paint job (#11) otherwise I can assure you I'll be showing up with a mono color scheme.

Quite rare. Sponsors usually object to someone elses stuff in their race...and we're talking about tires, not tyres...42

Only now am I understanding the schedule accommodates the travel plans in toting these cars via plane from race to race and the high costs associated with that expense, well done Sir!

You sure you weren't high when you come up with the schedule?

Took her for a spin around Hockeytown, tweaked the toe a touch and she's quite serviceable!

Then I painted her up!

Shaggy sent me a Dupont logo with a car wrapped around it and Grim said any color I wanted, so I picked a few favorites...BTW I had to buy a Holden to get the paint...cool

Nice paint oldschool.

Thanks to eveyone who came out fo the shakedown event.  These do require a a bit of driving in them to get used to it.  Still need to work on mine a bit more but I'll get it there.

Still room for others if anyone wants to join in the fun.

Next week we kick off the season at Camino Extreme for round one of the series.  Looking forward to seeing the battles on the track.
