Well, gang, the time has come for a
complete update. The new PBM Racing machine is well on its
way to shocking the Mustang racing community. Brian and I
had the pleasure/honor of spending last night at Billy Laskowsky's
shop, to check out the progress. The level of detail work in
this chassis is unbelievable! Billy really pulled out the
stops this time, and they have assured me that they would be ready
for Atco.
When I arrived, Billy's friend Pete
was in the process of fitting the HAL/QA1 strut/coil-over package
to the front of the car, with the Performance Automotive
K-Member. Everyone on this team knows their role, and does
it to perfection! Last night, Billy, Chris Beningo, Pete,
and also Mary and JIM "Nug"(this one's for you,
pal) were all there to lend a hand in the
construction of the racecar. Billy painted the car the other
day, and when we were there, the fenders were not yet
installed...but just drool over the pictures for a
while. The detail that Billy and Chris have
applied to every part in the chassis rivals that of a Pro 5.0
car. Every part has its place, and the car is built around
the parts. The rear is installed, the rear suspension is
done, the tin work inside the car is done and painted, and
they are working on getting the engine and wiring installed this
weekend. Remember when Dan Millen's new Super Street
Outlaw car debuted? This is going to cause the same kind of
stir, only in the Hot Street class for NMRA. A whole new
level of racing is about to be unleashed on the Hot Street class,
and I hope it makes things better!
Here you go! Enjoy!
