Mark,

Count me and SHO Club in for doing what we can to help you. 
  I can supply you with Amsoil products if you want, or just 
a little cash, or a hearty "go get 'em" if you wish.

I would love to see you get in the series in a competitive 
manner.

Also, Yes, I would be interested in the '89 track car when 
you move up next year.  Think I could figure out a way to 
get through the roll cage?  (and buy a bigger seat?)  :)

Might be cheaper than re-doing my '89 totally.
