then, the cars will be shipped to randy caster (aka - randall 'the vandal' caster) , where he will properly shim and align them.

meanwhile, mcgoo's painting up shells for each of us (since jaybee's already busy stripping wires) ...

finally, the finished package will meet their owners at the race track, ready for battle.

so, what do think about this adam? can you mandate this? we'd be alot better off, let me tell you. instant demotion/suspension for anyone caught with a rat's nest or air in their shocks? what do you think?

get too it.

sidenote: a 24t layshaft pulley would probably have a large enough diameter to use standard spur gears. now that's about 7 solutions in one (okay three-ish).

beat that schumacher! better yet, do it!
