If you guys are keeping score, this I think this is my 7th modified to be built this year. My last "banana yellow" effort was sub par... This one should be a little bit better. I'm going to call this one "Lickety Split"  |

Looks good. Can't wait to see it run. As I recall, I would find it hard to say the banana yellow car was subpar. It produced a pretty fast set of runs. If this one is faster, maybe it can push on Warp and Panzer a bit. ;D  |

Great looking car! As Warthog says, I wouldn't describe a top 6 finish as sub-par. Sub-top 5 maybe. ;D My goal for now is to break back into the top 8...  |

Sub par in looks alone.. looks like it got beat by an ugly stick. Had to package it up with the paint not fully dry. go back and look at the pictures. ugh!!! and I will not use Enamel any more@!@@@#!!@#$!%
I have found a few VERY cool websites about paint.. My new Stock this month will be sportin' one of those paint jobs. "Lickety Split" is the same style as a few others I built in May.. Had to buy an HVLP spray gun and found a site that sells quality paints in 4oz doses.
Still practicing on the paint jobs... I'm finding that harder then making them go fast.... Two things I hate: plumbing and painting.....
Keep smilin' will ya.

I wish now that I had snapped some Pics of our Modified L-M-N-8-R and our stocker X-L-R-8-R. We have not tried modified yet so this should be fun. I also sent Shere Khan (stock) in again after some improvements. I expect it will be our 2nd fastest stocker. I guess I'll have to wait a week to see some pics of them. EFC you always have fast cars...Good luck & Happy Racing!
