Cool - if the car is ready to run, I would thoroughly recommend it to give a taster to how it all works.

See you there

i know they will. i like the fact they have cars in many subarus racing in different series and they always do very well in whatever they compete in and the cars run in every round , which says a lot for the clinics ability to build a high powered RELIABLE engine
