                I will definitely hit the wilwood kick off, (one year late) but this boy has to work fridays AND saturdays and those 2 ply drag tires on the front wouldn't make Santa Maria on the freeway much less a trip up 33! Highway 33 is for my "other" car, LOL!

                    wellll-actually-it is a DIFFERENT KIND of fun-more fun? as much fun but not more-you really need to spend time in a 200 plus whp MINI to fully appreciate the entire automotive spectrum

                        we all tossed money in a bag, a bunch of guys pitched in and within a couple weeks ..

                        He was back in action

                          We lost Bill awhile back ..

                          He stopped racing to watch his grand daughters play softball ..

                          He was a cool dude and is not forgot about by many of us

                              People gripe about having to add a roll cage, but look. He was able to race on because of it. But a damn shame about the loss of the car. You guys treated him right, though. What happened to the "new" car? Hope Wilber's family is at peace - we know he is.
