Russell, if Mat can't make it around Hallett in less than 1.30 he will be labled a wuss. I'm thinking he will be closer to 1:18 or less. His JBL Coupe is really taking shape and he has spent the time and research to get the right engine setup from Brent Lykins.
If having a former chassis engineer from Porsche (Richard Hudgens) design your platform doesn't help not much will. I have been following the his build weekly and I am at awe with the construction of the frame and body. Larry Goins is doing a masterful job. Mat is absolutely doing this thing right.
I am going to start the Rumor he is going to paint it pink....

but that would be a lie!
