    Did anybody else get a chance to ride in one of these? It was at the liquor store off 694 and university. They're going to different liquor stores and bars to promote Jim Beam. I got a chance to ride in it and it was fun! That thing handles like crazy and the tires were awesome. They're not even street legal but they got treads on them. The guy said they're $2500 a set and they don't sell em, you have to lease them. The thing weighs i think 1700lbs with like 6xx hp i forgot. CRAZY!!! The whole shell was carbon fiber. It makes me want to become an indy racer now.

    This pic is from the photo gallery because the 2007 archives is not updated yet but i'll be in it :)

    words to that.

    FYI, those look like your standard fair rain tires for wet track conditions.

    They were going WAY under the speed limit. It sounded cool though!
