Don't worry. There will be plenty of fast cars that will actually show up. Stay tuned. I'll update this thread throughout the weekend.

Whats up with the car. Kevin is a stand up guy, I would be surprised if he did not disclose any issues.

I think there had been multiple shops involved in the motor/overall build process.[/QUOTE]
damn dude sorry to hear ,
did you contact KPG ? hes a straight up guy.
as far as i know and read , the build was strictly a evoms build.
what issues did you have with that car if i may ask?

It sounded like a pretty good scam to me. "Donate" the prize money so your company can write it off, then go win the money back, but make sure it's not enough that you have to declare it. Avoiding income tax and capital gains all while looking charitable.
Maybe someone can foil his master plan, or at least convince him to roll over the prize money into the next events pot if he wins again.

I have no doubt that Kevin is a stand up guy, I don't know him personally but I'm sure a lot of you do. Whatever problems I'm dealing with now are of my own doing and lack of due diligence prior to purchase.
I know this car has a status and reputation on here - that's why I bought it. However, they are machines, really high strung, and in some cases fickle - machines. They break.
I'm really not sure how much I want to go in to on here, seems like I'm hijacking a bit. I will probably create another thread regarding the car. The good news is it will include new numbers, and I think they'll be better than they ever were.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the car but you are in good hands with Steve working on it.
He works on my car & has been very professional to work with.

Rep Power: 197 My apologies to those that I have Grudge Matches set up with, I honestly hoped to have the chance to participate this weekend. However, the car had way too many issues to overcome in a short period of time. I will not be making the trip to TI.
Special thanks to BHT for being a great all around guy.
To Powell, and Prodigymb for taking the time to offer assistance in response to my texts/calls the days following my purchase, even though I had never met them.
Stay tuned for my thread "Running like a top does not mean the same thing to all of us" - a cautionary tale regarding buying a car without doing proper due diligence as a buyer.
The good news is the car will be running better than its last posted documented 2011 performance in a few days.
Good luck to all the participants.
