Where did you go when they decided the winners?
Fixing jumping Kia’s.
Jumping and Kia’s: I can understand why you needed to fix them. Kia stand for: Killed In Action….
Freiburger, Brulé and Kojima! Things are gonna get serious!
I’ll have to agree with Mike on the Schubeck 904.
Mike, You guys put the 4 rotor FD RX-7 in the top 25 but there was no talk of it in the video or for any of the other awards?
We didn’t do the video so I don’t know.
Winning an award and gift certificate from a piston company with a pistonless engine might be a little awkward don’t you think?
Cool award! Too bad road race didn’t get a class. That market must be a lot smaller than drag and circle though.
