So that brings us to the GNRS... We push the car in (We didn't have enough time to get it
running) and it was like I had a million pound weight off my back!! finally the day has come... I set up shop and was in surreal land all weekend ..the last part of the build happen so fast that I didn't even get a chance to soak it in....People loved it..I was stoked that my peers really liked it.. So come Saturday the awards happen and I can't believe it..
