Not a scratch though. A slower guy with a new Audi went into the woods at the same place. At least three guys went into the woods this weekend. No one was hurt, and you can always replace metal.

Re: The Racer gets to climb a hill, FINALLY!
Thanks John.
Thr three diagonal red stripes are to indicate that the driver is a novice and must display them for the first three events. We had to cover the familer "FP" stickers so that the class, "S2" stickers would be the only ones shown duringh the hill climb.

Re: The Racer gets to climb a hill, FINALLY!
Tom and Elazar,
To follow up on Ben's comments, it would appear that all you need to do now is add a freaking big wing on the back and a front splitter and you're podium bound!! Congrats again both of you!! Bill

Question for you! Does the cage in the Racer use mild steel DOM or chrome moly DOM? Trying to figure out which kit to order for the SVreX II. Thanks. Bill
