[@MichaelOfRohan]

I love him hes a great dude. He does fantastic work and hes just a really good person. Thats why the crash hurt so bad because we knew that was not representative of the man Kevin. Even if it was his fault, that stuff happens on dirt every single day and nobody bats an eye when someone burns alive offroad. but the internet shreds everything apart when something bad happens, specially when famous idols are involved.. whats that called again? Anyway... Everyone knew as soon as they got in their cars that something terrifying was going to happen that day, ask any one of the participants. When there is that concensus after a wreck, the fault almost always lies solely on the owner of the event.. and no, his real name is not cleetus.

[@gregmoore8796]

Kevin is a racer and sometimes that stuff happens. As you say...just a good dude.

Cleetus, the way you turn lemons into lemonade inspires us all. First Ruby, then Rocky, now ElRoy... you embody the philosophy that every broken part is an opportunity to upgrade. Thank you brother.

This is absolutely doable. However Ariel used actual engineers so idk how much better they could do.

George all calm like walks up "maybe it's all these burnt up wires right here" LoL idk why that made me laugh so much

[@FastSS02]

Me too since I just figured out my Avalanche's cylinder 7 misfire issue was an errant Dremel strike to the wiring harness cutting the orange #7 coil wire! I saw orange severed in that bunch and laughed and was trying to see how many other colors I could recognize from ohming out wires to the ECM from the coil wiring.

It would be fun to see the Vette-kart (still pushing to name it “Elroy”) get a supercharger setup similar to Leroy way back in the day, but with the quality of work you guys are now capable of. I think that would be more fun and streetable than a turbo. Plus it’ll be more 1-to-1 with the Atom. Maybe put Leroy’s old wing on it too.

I kinda would love to see you try and make elroy beat the ariel on the track. Weve seen the evolution for the drag version already. Go suspension, brakes, front splitter, rear wing and if theres a way, some sort of rear diffuser. More bald eagles is just a given P.s. we need some sort of conversion for hp to bald eagles

It'll never be as fast as the atom around a track but they can do a cam and bolt ons and it will bump up the vette a lot. Personally I don't see the point in them doing anything to it because anyone with a brain is going to pick the atom. It's worth far more, it's more unique, and let's be honest, the whole vette cart thing is pretty impractical.
