Yeah, this car holds up great. Now I don't get to race much, I've had the car since December and ran about 14 races now on it, so that's about 4 gallons on the car. But I'll tell you something, I've hardly ever taken the car apart. I've only replaced the clutch shoes twice (after running on two very hard packed indoor tracks, then mid-season teardown) and only rebuilt the shocks once. In the last few weeks, I've felt the car doesn't feel as well as it used to when steering, but I haven't ever taken the diffs apart to put new oil in them. The chassis has a bit of wear, but it will last another season at the rate I'm racing this car. So yeah, I basically just throw it down and PUNCH IT!
