One of the main reasons that our car cost so much is that we kept make changes all the way through. It gets expensive when your cutting shit off the car and re doing it. We are building another car for next season so we can have a two car team next year. We don't plan on spending nearly as much this go around.

Johnny is probably the least expensive build if you consider the economies of scale. So how much you have in the Jimco car.......the original build? Including value of sponsored parts etc.

To much...... but like I said we maid some mistakes along the way.
I feel we got what we paid for with this car. We went to one of the best race car builders in the Industry. so right off the bat we did not expect it would be cheap. but at Vegas to Reno Terry the team owner cartwheeled the car 3x at about 65 miles an hour. No one was hurt and we put a new upper A arm on and spindle and drove it all the way to the finish.

Knowing that makes me feel better I'm not the only one to wad it up bad at WFO. Ok more than once but still....LSR built our cage and it's passed with flying colors. I feel safe as can be in that cage. Glad no one was hurt.....same here no one seriously hurt just banged up. The rest of the car is hodgepodged.

In that case our car didn't cost us a thing. LOL.....
I wasnt throwing Matlock under the short bus .. I was saying my race cars are all built in house and in some cases in less then a couple weeks start to finish so they cost a bit less then most peoples builds .. we do 95% in house from sheet metal, Chassis, wiring ect

I know how you feel about it..... LOL.
After V2R he has been doing a lot to make improvements. He is also going to be pre running his section for a week. If he can get through his section without any issues we will be just fine.
