Gary, you are right about me. I bought a 1984 Red Devil from John Bellavance in 1987 (3 years old) and have done over ten major changes to it ever since to keep up with the ever improving level of technology in our class including my latest change over this past winter. Only about 20% of the car is still original - thus the name "DareDevil". Rather than changing to a newer car, I "fixed" my old car over 20 years because I fit comfortably in the cockpit and it was cheaper than buying a newer used car. My philosophy is to make the car faster in order to make up for my old age!!! :) :) Tinkering is good if you have a competitive chassis to begin with as shown by what Dan McMahan has done to Clint's 1988 (?) KBS Mk.5 - a competitive car to begin with but now a national championship caliber car in Clint's hands.
