I have to be careful because I,m building an 06 ford and my brother is selling these frames. Everybody that buys a frame has questions. Have to be careful. We are developing new technology,, we want to help a guy out but, we have to keep our edge on things. i want to to be the inovater and not the imitator for once.

Thats what you spend most of your time in the pits doing. I don't mind people looking at my car, heck they can crawl under and over it in the pits. If the officials don't see it, then I doubt a person in the pits will either. Just remember though, that a derby is a public event, anyone can buy a pit pass. So legally people can look at derby cars as much as they want. Its when they touch it that it becomes breaking the law. When I video tape derbys in the pits, I will only video the inside of derby cars if they are friends with me or openly friendly with there car towards me. You'd be surprised the number of people who threaten me on youtube that if I ever come to there derby and get near "there" car they will smash the camera. Haha..well I'll win the lawsuit.

I currently have 2 things I do to each of my cars that is right in the open, and nobody has noticed yet. Waiting to see how long until I see it on other cars.
