John's 1996 Dodge Vipah....

I Originally told a bunch of ya registered voters (legal or illegal) not to vote for me in 2009. Well it looks as if I kinda mispoke. Please DO vote for me this year, for the 2009 Hankook Ultimate Track Car Challenge! I would like to enter my gal in this year's fullcourse fun at Virginia International Raceway if it would so please the court...

.

If you vote for me to run my ol Lady in the 2009 Hankook Ultimate Track Car Challenge I promise to get to all those promises I made in the inaugural UTCC. Really. Its not that I didnt try, but training and hangin out with high priced New Jersey "interns" takes time and alot of taxpayers money. ALOT of your money. So...

Like in 2007, I plan on lowering things, like the overhead maintenance costs on your 401K and/or the ground clearance of the Vipah. I also plan on providing a stimulus package for say, 6 of you that vote for me to run in the 2009 Hankook Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Ill let the interns do the package stimulating.

I promise not 1, but 2(!!!) SHAMWOWs for every American that still has a house and garage...

If you vote for me in 2009 I will again champion the efforts to make parkinglot burnouts legal in all states, as well as getting all beer and cars (not being sold to foreign investors) to be free. Come to think of it, I promise to make it part of the stimulus package. And you get to date Selma Hayak.

If you vote for me, I promise to do better than my best, like a million and 10%. Thats pretty good! Below is an example of the ol' Lady at a prior NASA April Fools event, where we won the TTU Class timetrials! It wasnt 1,000,010% But it wasn't dogpoop either. 2009 will be a million or so percent faster, if you vote for me. Check out the vid below...

If you vote for me I will put your name in a hat and pick out a couple winners that will have the unforgettable opportunity to hang out with these guys. The 2007 interns.

I promise all of this. I wont  promise the social security benefits and free gas for life like I did in 2007 because we all know those bennies aint gonna be worth Jose Canseco's rookie card. Instead, let me just tell you all your dreams will pretty much come true. Not the ones where you are nekkid in 11th grade spanish class, or nekkid at SeaWorld in the bottlenose dolphin tank, or nekkid on Dancing with the Stars with Norm from Cheers, but the really GOOD dreams! All you gotta do is VOTE FOR ME. Its that simple.

Some Vital Stats...

#65 RojoFro 1996 Viper GTS - Driven by John "Do I Look Fat in this suit?" Freeman in the SCCA Mid Atlantic Region, under the ITE class. She's got a VEE TEN engine under her skirt with allowable suspension, aero and weight modifications based on the Viper Racing League (VRL) GT-1 class rules. A kinda-modern era (is 1996 still modern?) hotrod with better than hotrod handling and performance.

Her Basic Hardware consists of the following:

* Moton Triple Adjustable Shocks all wrapped up in 900 pound Eibachs up-front and 1200 Pounders in the rear.

* CCW Lightweight wheels with whatever rubber I can stick on em. Only prereq I have is that the shoes can hold 40 pounds of air for 45 minutes!

* Her prom dress consists of an Autoform Hood and doors, with a GT-1 Adjustable wing out-back. I added an uber hightech aluminum duckbill to the trailing edge of this wing, because the 10's of thousands of dollars I spent on the interns, I mean in the windtunnel said it would drop laptimes.

*I used to have a carbon fiber splitter that cost I think around 2 grand. Now I have a sweet 8mm piece of corrugated aluminum me and Hot-tub guy #3 cut out using the remnants of the old splitter. 80 bucks for the aluminum and 8 bucks for the beer. I still have all my fingers!!!

* Sparco Seats, removable steering wheel & suit. Tilton Clutch. Some newer harnesses TBD, Coolsuit and fire suppression. Motor and drivetrain are all stock, built and blueprinted by Arrow Motorsports - the guys that take care of Vipah hearts on a daily basis.

So WTF does RojoFro mean anyways? Basically, I wanted something with a little meaning, and we adopted our first son about the same time I purchased this car. He was born June 5th. So - RojoFro (readhead) and the number 65 is his birthday. Basically now you know everything about me so you pretty much are like family and that means you should probably support your brother John and make sure he gets to VIR for this event. It will make mom proud, and you know how important that is.

So go head and vote for brother John. And Pedro too, but mainly for me. That is all.

Just what is the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge? ---> WEEEEEEE!
