I am the proud new owner of "RatBird" I heard that it made an appearance at SC7. Does anyone have any video of it on the track?

I'll have to check the raw footage, but I believe so...we haven't got the final copies of the SCR7 DVD yet, so I can't say for sure if it made the final copy or not...

But *welcome* nonetheless... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Hey...did you have to pay any extra for the documentation when you bought the car? (Read the last few lines of Mike's write up on the car) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now Bob, you know we only allow Nilesans to come to Park Ridge on Halloween http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

But BOB is in costume everyday of the week! He can't help it that he looks like a monster even when it is not Halloween. That is actually the only day he doesn't look out of place.

Ratbird has been known to do a decent burnout or two.
