Some how this car just does not seem to be "rice" now does it? ;)

yeah looks, more like a track car to me :o

wow, that really looks great with all the sponsor stickers :D
gotta love a race-modified car 8)

well when people use the word rice to describe everything that isnt stock that can happen

Hey, rice is only true rice when it's all the 'look' parts and none of the 'go' parts.

I don't think many people would be thinking THAT particular would be describable as 'pokey' :)

BTW - the car sounded awesome as well... they sent the engine to Lingenfelter for some massaging... ;)

mmmmm massaging

exactly what i said in the OTHER topic it's obvious it's for racing

...but not everyone would believe me - so I drove 1500 miles to go see/film/touch/hear the car - and 300 miles to get back to a PC to post the proof... ;)

Now for the 1200 mile trip home... :P

Damn fine work RC! Please tell me you got some video of it. I would love to drive that car.

enjoy the trip back home!!

no alterier motive for the travel?? hey, the start of the 1 lap is really a good motive in my book :P 8) :o :) :D

I mean if Cannonball doesnt support speeding, whats that car need that wing for if they are just gonna stay at 65-70 8)

Why is there so much space in between the tire and the fender itself on the top pictres? Was he running with smaller wheels?

So the 1 lap has started already, great, now this is where you find the best drivers, not the Gumball Rally, Cannonball Run, or the Players Run, those guys are all morons and cannot drive, but they are still fun to watch. I have known a few people that have entered in this contest and I think that someday when I have enough money that I would like to do so as well.

Very nice i like it!! Did you get any vids of the car? I would love to hear the car.
