Quote from: 18degrees on February 27, 2026, 05:40:03 PMThe owner of Hatterfield's #17 would like to lodge a formal protest about the extra bodywork on the #7c. Non-stock appearing front air dam, rear spoiler sides, and the cut down rear fenders. This ain't a late model racing league

Thanks guys-it was "Butterfly's" Valentines gift. Made to represent the Canadian NASCAR series run at Scotia Speedway. She's giving us some major mechanical difficulties at the moment - hope she can make the show
