I always enjoy your videos Stacey. I wish I had enough motivation to make a few as I tinker to fix things but my mind is always on fixing said thing and not about trying to add the trouble of recording anything. At least I try to remember to take pictures :roll:

See Ya,

Stacey,
That's a great color, I like it a lot. There is a guy around here that also has a 61 about the same color. Nice guy, great racer, and beautiful car.

Holy Smokes. That is looking the same. I wish mine were that fast. And he's running Super Street class so it must be street legal.

I couldn't find a good representation of the color online so I went with my gut.

Thanks guys. And no Pop, this is my first orange. I can see how you might think that though, buggy number 7 will be started after the new year.
