Yes, right next to the raised platform facing the 'square'. Shame we couldn't get to catch up. Were you there on Sunday?

i was there in force and in more ways than one.
yahoo i took 2nd place in the shwo and shine for the original class the bigget class there with 68 cars (i was told)
really happy with a lot of late nights on that car oh and on my own car.
gess way too much powerf or motorkhana and also rear sway bar now that fantastic for autocross as it caused too much understeer.
stil had fun.

yeah the red car got it which tells me they were going more for the std production look than the modified look.
I know the seats are nice you know how many people ask me about them and i should actually bring in some sets and see how they sell.
You should have come up and introduced your self it would have been good to catch up i was chatting to so many people on the day i cant remember who i had met by the end of it.
