Thanks again to everyone that posted in this thread, your comments are appreciated..
Over the last couple of days, I found out that a date was set for MATs in Vegas... which lead me to search the internet for more information.. when I did, I stumbled across a pic of me and the car in the staging lanes that got my excitement level back up a little..
We still have a long way to go before we can take the car out to the track again, but still.. I feel the juices stating to bubble again..
Here is the pic I found..
