Wes your right.... several of us had the opportunity to interact with Gary
Eaker when he came to Maxton one time with Paul Vanderley. He is a really
nice guy and is currently employed by Hendrick Motorsports. ( yep Jeff
Gordon's car )
As for Roadsters.... hmmm fun.... yep ... Historical.... Yep....
aerodynamically sound choice.... Hmmm NOPE... but like Chris just said I
think there are some major gains to be made in simply cleaning up the basic
package. I'm liking several of Brad's choices when it comes to building a
street Roadster.... but I think he is going to let the car do the
talking....
