FWIW....If I got offered the chance to do what Robin is doing, it would be very hard to say no...

Nostalgia Pro Street, I believe.

And you'd be nervous too, Coger.

Guys, it's sure been bitter sweet. Now that the 05 is haulin ass I am selling it.

I catch myself thinking about things that I want to try on the dyno or test at the track.....DOH!!

It's an opportunity of a life time. The LS engines are cool as hell and make bunch of power with a few mods.

See you over in the NMCA:D

Only in my dreams ;) not! really she was quite different than I had envisioned. She was quite personable. We talked about her time with Chip Foose on Overhaulin. At that time she had a Foose'd late model T Bird. She loves cars! She doeas a ton for the SCCA crowd. HEr dad was a racer. Do a search on google and look at her website. I was amazed at all the stuff she has going on.

She had to tape 5 shows that day and mine was the second to tape. It was really interesting watching her tape the first show.

It was a little surreal standing next to her on the close shots. I could not stop stop thinking "what am I doing here" :D

Like I said, if a similar offer found it's way to me, it would be real hard to say no.

Robin runs a really pro-style program over there, so when Doc and Lisa were looking for someone, he'd be at the top of my list too....

Robin, looking for any crew guys?

Sellout....j/k, it's one thing to sell out, it's another to make a living and if this makes it easier for him to race cool. I am glad Robin is staying in racing...it's just too bad that it had to be with the other team. I am sure he'll do fine and we'll see him in Joliet. AT LEAST HE'S HOT GOING NOPI ON US :)

I think its pretty awsome. Its a chance alot of racers wait for and would love to have. It really shows how much you have accomplished when someone wants to give you a ride like that and drive for them. It would be tough to give up the 05, and the NMRA. Its a hell of a car, and the series has a ton of great guys in it. Sometimes you have to do whats right for you, and its not always the easiest choice to make, but it might be whats best for him. Honestly I cant see too many racers, unless they already have a sponsored/funded ride, a shop car, or unlimted funds, not wanting to take an opportunity like this.
