Yup Pineapple on pizza and EPAS racks. Two things I am a big fan of. Sorry you had some bad luck, can you get the car modified in time to take the Championship?
 
Well, Thunderhill was a bust.
Another power steering failure sent us home after the first session. This is the 3rd failure and I’m sick of it.

Time for an electric rack.

One thing I learned about this track, the road disappears…a LOT. If you don’t already know where you’re going you could be in the weeds in half a second. Wish I had more laps to learn this track but nooooo…

So instead we’re having breakfast at round table….drinking pizza and eating beer.

And yes, that’s pineapple on my pizza….don’t like it? Fight me.

That's a fruit salad.

*Raises fisticuffs*

I sure hope so.

You know you’re in a race track bathroom when the stalls are held together with zip ties.

Can anything with pineapple on it still be called pizza?
NO!

Does it still taste good?
Probably, but no thanks.

Are we gonna fight now?
I pick my battles and this ain't one. Hope you enjoyed, you deserve it!

Try it. you'll like it.
 
Fabman, You surely expanded your build thread with the mention of pineapple on pizza!! My motto is "To each his/her own"...that's why they have menus in restaurants.I,personally don't prefer anything sweet on my dinner plate....no pineapple on pizza, no cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, no mint julep with my leg of lamb......You get the picture. I save the sweetness's for dessert..........no fight, no foul...just enjoy whatever floats your boat.

I find that most who rail against pineapple on pizza have never actually tried it....not all, but most.

By Gum!! Those meaty tires look big, even for the 18x12 wheels.
Big wheels for mustang are hard to find and expensive.
I was lucky to get these and I had to wait forever for them to be made.
Now I could get some CCW or similar brand for $1000.00/each but I needed 12 of them so that just wasn't going to happen.
 
Understandable... I forgot what wheels you have, Did Apex make some 18x12 wheels?
I wish. These are Forgestars. Decent wheels, but not on par with Apex.
 
Ahhh,,, forgot abut that .. I deleted the word Forgestar from my memory banks after buying some 18x12s for some Camaros. Not a pleasant buying experience.
