I would expect nothing less from Bruce. We were with him and others as my grandson Tyler went thru rookie orientation on Wednesday morning. I'm sure he will used his newly found "expertise" in our sport while being part of other TV shows...... :wink:

Yes the fuel cell can has a sealed lid. The windshield tabs are at the front of the roof rails, painted black hard to see.

Bruce is an awesome person to work with. It was fantastic to see how much he was enjoying everything. We came up a little short, but I am determined to help him get a red hat.

As for the 757 going through tech. You have no idea how thourghly this can has been teched multiple times. I get a little grayer everytime I go through tech.

But I want to say THANKS to all the tech people for doing their best to keep all of us safe

I know that 2010 3.A.3 says new cars, but probably should have said new drivers. His head was moving around a lot.  Nice video though, well worth the 45 minute down load.

I've teched the car before, the fuel cell is enclosed. I was refering to when we made the 2010 rule of head and neck restraints we should of said new drivers instead of new cars.  It's a moot point now because 2011 will include all.

How many posts before I'm not a newbe any more?

Steve, "newbie" is mostly an attitude these days.  I don't know how to turn off the newbie/old timer/etc machine.  A handful of years ago Jon Amo set up the post-counting system and set up the labels -- and I don't remembefr why.  I think there were some rewards - maybe free shopping at his on-line store.  But nowadays the labels proclaiming you as a newbie are just words.  You're welcome to put "No, I'm not a newbie any more" as part of your signature line, okay?
