Wow, you work fast! Very honored to see my suggestion put into play. I must say it really made it pop, however, I might be slightly biased, but on the other hand my wife thought so too and she generally doesn't have much interest in slot cars.

Regards

I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure the Penski team didn't run the M8A. I wanted to back date the car to get the cg moved forward. It may corner a little better but it would be hard to verify.

Very nice job there, Bob. The details that you added after the initial post really made the car. Great call on the head swap. The stock driver just looks a bit odd to me, and that made him a lot better. Nifty! :handgestures-thumbup:

Late to this party, that looks great. I will have to seriously consider getting a white kit. Jim
