I am darn glad that there is a venue for outside the box thinking and engineering exercises. Were it
not for the graphics one could hardly distinguish any sprint, midget or champ car from another.

With such brilliant chassis weight savings perhaps
they might consider this little fella for the driver:

just think if you could get the " Sammy Swindell" version with audio control and mute, You could market the robot as having lifelike expressions also ;)

Looks like too much grass really screws up his sensors.
Do they make him in Ti?:10:

Is it true that he has to tie the chassis down at night in the garage, or else it will be up at the ceiling in the morning ?

What exactly was the reasoning for not allowing the Synergy V8 cars back? Ray Boyles enters a car with V8 engine every year. I would love to see those two cars back with Pickens and Mosen in them again.

Boyles car is a V6 ford SHO engine....I would imagine that the synergy V-8 is illegal for the same reason the ECOTEC spec engine is illegal....dual overhead cam....

Yes, thats right...a $10,000 265 horsepower spec engine is illegal at the chilibowl...because of the DOHC...my car owner was heartbroken to learn this last week after having put a RRE ecotec in his sons car.

Well I'll take it as a compliment. Emmet's not afraid of a Ti Chassis but my litte EFI engine just terrifies him!:5:

Everybody thats going - have a good time down there, it's still one of the best weeks of racing anywhere....
