Picture of the day...

Here's Tyson at my shop installing a new windshield after blowing his out at the track. I guess this is the equivalent to a parish priest having the pope drop by for a visit, or rather, Satan dropping in at Saddam's house to use the can.

I bet you were all flustered like a school girl Thom. haha.

Tyson/Thom is that a lip spoiler on his ducktail or am I just nuts? Or both? I have a duck and wouldnt mind one of those for a bit for downforce.

I'm about an hour away. Tyson had to drive sans windshield to my house @ a top speed of 60mph, also known as suck-factor 9. I'll let Tyson tell the story of losing the windshield.

Here's a pic from the exhibition race:
