[michael brewer]

[michael brewer]

michael i have an M2002 in my garage if you dont want to buy a new one. we upgraded everything when we built the fast engine that blew last year. we have (had?) a set of brnad new belts....not sure if they are still around, they went to the swap meet last week, and im not sure if they came home or not. i know they were still in date though.

on the other hand, look at the g-force helmet on the front page of racingjunk.com, they are on sale for 1/2 off.
