Future owner needs people to bounce wuestions off of and a few real cars to see up close for saliva build up. [img]graemlins/drool.gif[/img] Internet pictures and videos are SLOWLY losing their flavor.
Although, Borden's video of him smoking the Viper still gives me goose bumps.

Where in Kansas are you located? I know of 5 FFR's in the Wichita area including mine. 1 dark blue w/ white stripes, 2 yellow w/ black stripes, 1 go cart-unpainted, and one rolling chassis.

Thunder,
Chris is right (I'm one of the yellow/black stripes FFR's) but if you're in Olathe, you need to go by and see Rich Oben. Post in his forum on the Pro Builders forums. He's right in your neighborhood. You might even sign up for one of his build schools.

Sounds like a great idea...
If anyone is planning on going to this meeting, can you please private message me, looking for someone I can follow as the website doesn't state where the meeting is held.

Also, thank you very very much Richard for speaking with me over the phone... as I replay our conversation over in my mind, it is becoming more and more clear just exactly what I want...
Thanks again
Bob

Rugger, I-70 to Benton or Prospect and then north to 12th street. The building is on the southwest corner of 12th and Benton. The entrance is in the back. The place is not in the best neighborhood but the facility works well. Meeting at 9 breakfast at 8 next door. HTH, Cheers Richard.
