Steve,
Please do not think in any way that you let the team down . I know for a fact that there is an art to launching a car of this Kaliber .

The fact that you put your car on the line and did the business (with broken parts) - speaks volumes. Love the "not going to give-up" attitude, and maybe this first TOTB for you, will see you learn from your experiences to improve the car for next year .

Thanks for entering and giving us Cossie people something more to see than the Jap stuff .

 

nice motor looked rock hard
