NB doesn't have many usable parts, so far...
Hey VR, can I get away with using the 8.2 10 bolt rear?
VR> No, but the 12 bolt has always been legal as an option, but you need it for the 6.14's anyway. You'll need some 8.5 to 10 " light wheels to mount your radial slicks on.
NB> How much for the slicks?
VR> A lot..but you can probably buy some take offs from the high hp guys, for a bunch less.
NB breathes a temporary sigh of relief...

Hey VR, I see you have a fuel cell in your car. Do I need that?
VR> Oh yeah..It's for safety, plus you can clean out the old race gas easier so you don't pollute your fresh racing gas. That stuff ain't cheap.
NB asks how much per gallon and VR tells him . NB promptly passes out on the floor.
VR pours cold water on his head.
Will he ever wake up?
Stay tuned..
