Topic: "We are insane"

So, we've been working on this project.  My teammate and car owner finally got to drive it today - his quote was "we are insane."  This from a 6x loser who was a member of the IOE winning Citation.

I love my teammates and their propensity for understatement.

Re: "We are insane"

Sanity is highly overrated.

Is this the project we breifly discussed while you were working on my cage?

Re: "We are insane"

Sadly, no.  We've done a bunch of races at CMP and want to try to pollute some other tracks - spread the rust around so to speak.  We're dragging it to Gingerman.

You just made my day better.

Glad to here you guys are dragging it up to Gingerman.  Look forward to seeing whatever it is you guys have put together this time.

Pendejo - There is no such thing as a racing budget and if you can't afford to set it on fire and watch it burn while drinking a beer then don't race it.

Rob, you should have contest "What is it?" because it's really hard to tell at first and second glances.  Should be a fun time!!

Re: "We are insane"

The best part of this is that even the people at the autocross, who got to look the car over from a couple of feet away, had a rather large range of guesses as to its origin.
