Papa's Wraith Re-Build

[papabash]

Had our last comp of the season Sunday and the Wraith performed flawlessly, setting the fastest time and winning the comp to wrap up 1st place in the Season Points. I still haven't decided what to do about a new body, but I have all winter to worry about that.
Got a couple of shots from the comp:

Been a while since I've updated this, thought I'd share a couple of recent pics just to show that it does indeed get driven.

Myself and a couple of my buddies from SMRCRC (90finder, Mike N, and his son Blake) made the trip up to Saint Louis for the Iron Mountain Depot RECON G6 last weekend. It was a great time, and our 3 rigs ended up taking the top 3 spots in the 2.2 Class. I was very happy to take the First Loser position as this was the first time I had driven the rig in a G6, and it actually performed even better than I had hoped. Here's a cell phone pic of the 3 of us posing with Mike T's (90 finder) Driver of The Day award:



A couple poser shots after I got home showing the mud. This year's G6 wasn't nearly as muddy as last year's, just enough to make it fun and keep you on your toes from time to time.

Here's a closeup of one of my favorite new scale items, seen in the picture above :

Wait a minute! You got to hook a brotha up with a kool sticker like that!

LOL, it's just something I made myself real fast before the G6. Made the design, printed it on some labels, and covered it with packing tape. Nothing fancy, but it serves the purpose.

Agreed, I know for a while there was a new batch being made, but they are too pricey for me. I'd rather spend that kind of $ on performance than appearance.
