Now I have to add 4 NASA win decals and I'm not sure how to integrate them....just mix them in or add a separate row?

That's a little presumptuous. Gives the impression that I expect to win more.
You never know when a streak is going to end. Hell, for all I know it's already ended.
A separate column with only 4 decals might look a little lonely and sad.
Gonna have to sleep on this one.

presumptuous!! How could that be!! You have the goods and the skills. Gives you added incentive to fill the column!

To true.... for example, the GT4's are looking for turbo kits now. But in the mean time.... Go get em!!
Wonder what Shaun would think about a 5 psi turbo??

More heat and weight....not my first choice, but never say never.

A good friend of mine who has been racing for decades, had a 2013 GT with the all the usual bolt-ons and with a cortex Watts, torque arm and coilovers. He had the fasted rwd car in our time trail series for several years. He stopped racing to get his talented kids into karts (racing in europe etc) and recently came back to race W2W with us.... You can see how time stands still for no one!! Poor guy is stuggling to not be last in class as every one else has been modifying their cars and skills for several years.

Had a hub failure in the making at Sonoma.
David Gordon @Flash68 noticed some wheel movement when we were jacking the car up.
We re-torqued the bearing and finished the weekend without incident but when I went to replace the hubs today you could see where stuff had been rubbing.
Thanks Dave for your keen eye, that could have become a real problem for me.
Thanks Kevin Patten @Albino500 for coming up with a fresh set of hubs from that magic parts shed of yours!
And yes, those are #Specfabracing 4" brake cooling plates
