Just out of curiosity, how many of you that are coming to the R4 are using a chassis that is NOT based on a JK or Warmack kit? This is strictly for my own edification, and nothing else.
See y'all in Columbus!

I built my Can Am from scratch and it was a lot of work, but I'm not so sure Noose will pass it. 
But I am planning on using a JK kit in the JK Spec race.

Butch, as one techie to another techie. When I said it would be take a Blue Moon before I allowed your car to pass tech I thought you understood what the meant. So I guess I have to draw you a picture ey?

Same for me.

I thank you all for your replies. Neither of my cars (I'm not running F1; Yes, I'm chicken) is kit based, probably to my detriment !!!
