60/40, but it was on the driveway so figure more like 62/38.  not nearly as bad as we expected, although definitely heavier.

I'm up off Buck and Middle Holland....but I know your intersection quite well...I love to take Bridgetown from 213...there is a nice series of corners...and turning on to E.Hol is always fun!

Seeing the diff and rear axle, that is where all that weight is.  I can't believe how big that is.

Re: "We are insane"

You guys are killing me.  I really cannot wait to see this monstrosity.

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.

Re: "We are insane"

Isn't the current popular definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? That definition seems to fit this series.

Momentum is a terrible thing to waste.

Re: "We are insane"

Fixed that for you.

(unless, of course, Dave is driving - then they are about the same)
