Great look and welcome!! You can always edit your build if you want to ( say if you change to a stickier tire or wider rims ) as time goes by, as you will find tracking your Gray Ghost is not only fun it becomes addictive. Always liked the look of a gray machine with a red interior , they compliment each other quite well and in the end they don't look like everyone's else's car. Glad to have you and have you run at Palmer yet?

Cooling is a major key many skip till later and it not only is beneficial for safety it has the nice benefit of extending the race pad's competitive life close to double ---- so it saves one bucks.

Check out the hub centric Apex rims who are not only a Sponsor here, but are very active , as a wide set of 19x11s with some 305 will be quite helpful in picking up speed this year. So is Lime Rock also on your plans for a track event in 2021 also?

I'm with Bill on this one. Gray Mustang with red interior is hard to beat...I might be biased though. Nice ride!
