A big congrats to John and Nate Williams for their hard earned finish. Despite what some would have considered game enders they kept their chins up and battled towards the finish line. What a great race

So I have been following this thread and wishing I had some money burning a hole in my pocket like everyone else . I do have a question. Now that the race is said and done and you know what worked and what didn't, what changes would you have made during the build to make it a better rig for the race? Does that make sense?

I imagine I'm not the only one with a list of things I would do if I won the lottery

Thanks Medsker

A silver lining for team Impulse. KOH update: the 4413 car piloted by Doug Bigelou sucks balls.

I wish we could have been there in time to see that race! Congratulations on finishing. It's amazing what a car and crew have to go through. Congrats again!

It's so cool to be on the same forum boards as the guys that really do this kind of building & competition!!:bow:

I appreciate you guys posting these builds & uploading the race footage!! It's awesome & very informative to those of us who want to build to a lesser level, but still very capable rigs!

Those of us who aspire to wheeling on that level, but never will, salute you who do! :tara: Keep going! We all love & need the encouragement!
