Gio, The Jeep is a modified Legacy chassis with a Turbo Cobalt engine that happens to look somewhat like a Jeep. The reason for the year (1947), 80" by about 50" wheel base and width.... Del Long build---to beat the little green bugeye.... My bet is on the Bugeye
Nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! This puts me 2/3 of the way to the Triad Award.[/quote]
Congrats Bill!... That Tim Aro guy is no slouch. Berry Family Racing is definitly rooting for you on the Triad Award !!!!

Except check out the biggest event of the year. The Memorial Day Spring Nationals at Lincoln. Andy had trouble against the Wong. I think Jason Franks, Craig Mankiewicz, and Will Kalman were right there if not ahead as well. But yeah, he's looking really tough going into Lincoln. You know it will be, as my 7yo says, "EPIC!"
The Jeep is major cool. It needs a lot of development. Its a brand new car. The chassis is something oval track... Legacy car? Something like that. CG is a little too high. Not sure the Cobalt motor is the way to go. But it was available and cheap. Internals are all stock. There is a lot more potential in the Jeep than what has been seen so far, or will be seen this year. But to do battle against the KFR Sprite.... We know what that little monster is capable of.

Yeah I did remember one event (as I do post the results) and noticed he did get beat, but since then, he has been on fire.
