Are the rumors true that you took the Wizard to a carbon fiber
fabricator and the expected weight savings will be over 537 lbs
on a gen1 viper???If that is true then Charlie is indeep $#%^*
for roll on contests.

Skeeter :2tu:

We just got back from the CF fab shop and it looks like the savings in weight is going to be in the range of 650 lbs!! "Charlie all you are going to see is a "plumber's crack" !! :eek:

Listen, you really don't need any of that Carbon Fiber crap. Eventually it can crack, become brittle, catch fire and weaken the car. And your car has to stay safe to race. I would highly recommend whatever panels you were going put in Carbon Fiber and replacing with good Old American Steel. Some nice heavy Stainless Steel Panels should be minimum 1/4 inch thick for structural integrity. This may add a little weight but remember safety is more important. Think about it, you wouldn't want to go over 120mph and all this carbon fiber **** starts cracking and peeling off the car. Eventually by 150 you'll be driving a naked skeleton revealing a lot more crack than you wanted to. And remember crack kills! Heavy duty American 504 grade Steel thats the key. Take my word for it, I am a real scientist and know these things.

You know you right, I don't even need that CF to beat you, you can't even eat ice cream correctly! LOL :smirk:
At least you have the right hat on. :2tu:

He was formally notified at the beginning of the day's event to remove the hat! We do not permit denominational apparel at any region events. Upon hearing his refusal, I approached him to apply the appropriate "secularizing" electric tape (in black so as to match the hat)....but I lost him in the crowd cowering behind Adrian!

He looks surprisingly good in pink! :2tu: (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Great shot there Baz!

A couple of quick notes:
Scott, thanks for screwing me with your portraiture.
I know I can always count on you being there when
I am having a Fcked up moment. Which lately is
happening way too often.

Baz, please get some sidepipes on that thing. How
can Chuck been seen in that without
sidepipes! Even though its in the red family
that color's got to go!
If its staying pink put on some 20's with
spinners. Its the American Way!
That should get some attention
downtown. I wish you can take a picture of the
Wizard in gear meeting the people in your area
and capturing their reactions. What does a
gallon of premium gas go for these days over
there?

Chuck, I know your creating your own
defense mechanisms by trying to hurt my
feelings with Scott's artistry.
It just won't work, you can't
deviate from the realization of getting passed
by a rear tailpiped car. Enjoy all of your
malovent tactics while in the UK. Just
remember the rear exhaust truth will be hard
to digest once your back in
America.
Till then be safe! I hope Baz fed you well, about 75 pounds worth.
Skeeter won't recognize you.

The car is due a modded roe blower and some race side pipes..
But we had trouble getting tracktion due to how light it is 0 to 60 3.8...
Fuel is about $8 gallon :confused: :eek:
20" rims are to big just catch the inner wells..
