Your Vert looks Identicle to mine. 'cept the paint is not peeling on your trunk.



I almost signed up to race, but I wanted to "Recon" first. An Auto Vert is really slow and I didn't want to get killed.



The Silver RX8 and the Red Ferrari duked it out for about 6 laps with the RX8 in the lead.



The bad thing is a spray painted silver VW rabbit killed all of them.

That VW was something else. He had stripped it out completely to where it was just a Motor and chassis. The guy told me that it was 1750 lbs. He was running a N/A VW engine with a cold air intake and a header. Other than that it was bone stock.

The paint on my vert is peeling on the Trunk and Hood. My Trunk has that same leading edge paint problem that you describe. I was going to buy a trunk in a Junkyard but it had the same peeling paint problme as well. $150 bux will set ti right. I just haven't had the extra to take it in.

They are going to Willow Springs July 2-3. Appearantly WS is more of a twisty track that does not favor HP as much as Buttonwillow. I am considering..................



They are also hurting for customers. We should tell them to let us have a Mazda RX7 Challenge. We need numbers however. They also need to lower their prices.
