Not necessarily, I had the privelege of watching at Cleveland last year, and his car was SILLY FAST!!! Unfortunately it handled like an absolute bag of fertilizer, and therefore he was not fast. He's one helluva wheel though.

Barry,

I was at the Indoor Champs. Got to see Hara run. Car was very good, he made B main. I went to Thad Garner's room to check out his car. Very nice piece of work. Word from Thad was that a conversion kit will be available Stateside soon. What you have seen in the pics is what you will be able to buy. The chassis has been revised slightly to help it work better on carpet.

I was his car at the champs too. It looked pretty much identical to the ones posted on this forum.

I dont see how they would have a conversion kit, everything is different, lol! They mind as well just sell a full kit.
