so the question i have for the oh so famous hoppe is this. how did you get your photo published like that? do you just flood everyone with photos and press releases? does someone contact you and ask you if you have pics? what IS the secret?

nate - doesn't drive well enough to get a pic of his car published anywhere

Last week I went to the SCCA site, and there were two pictures on the main page. Guess what? Both of them were of that Hoppe guy! Big one for the news of his ProSolo win, and the one in the top-right that alternates between different cars.

Yes, I think he's working on a secret plan to control the universe. :alien: ;)

At least the car looks good! :D

Gee I wonder where he got most of his decals? :lol:

It's not a sports car. :D

:lol:

1) Call KC
2) Say "I want a LOT of stickers"
3) Install said stickers

Thats the plaaan

I have NO idea how I got to be one of the cars on the rotating SCCA homepage. I bet it had a lot to do with the stickers. Same thing on the SEDIV trophies. Lucky I guess. The press release for oscoda was cause of the win, and I bet SPEED just looked at the last few SCCA Autox Press Releases and picked the pictures out of them for their article. I do whore the car a lot though. After all the big events that get press on I send out all the sponsor emails with pics and results etc etc. I try to send the guys at SOA pictures as well. You guys have also seen all my posts on here with pics of the car.

Vinyl adds horsepower. I heard the dyno could barely handle it when he got the car tuned.
