Re: A DECADE OF DISAPPOINTMENT

Do we need brakes for this race?  If the answer is no, the Mirada is definitely ready to race!

That's what the Century does, right.  Get up to a sane cruising speed of 35 mph in third and just circle the track?

The Cutlass Ciera does have function Cruise control so we do just set it and forget it.

Actually, I heard that all spec land yacht entries get to use any / all A-class cars as supplementary braking devices.

The nose and rears are different, plus we have our badges on the car, and the steering wheel with the olds symbol.  Hell all our wheels are Oldsmobile wheels, we are a walking billboard for the fine brand.

Technically we have zones that can crumple but the frame extends from one battering-ram-worthy chrome bumper to the other.  Crumpling is unlikely.

Based on the podcast he's on now, he doesn't have the time between the roughly 235 diffrent races he watches each week.

If you have different grades of said gear, I expect to see the team it non-stop all weekend.  Then I want to know why you have so many vintage faux cop outfits...or maybe I don't.

I mean... we are the team that had a 6'7 guy in a wedding dress. Do not doubt our costuming commitment.

Since its for a I Like Pole certificate, I'm assuming the official contest is Friday night.
