My Vote goes for my Boy City Racer, He deserves to be recognized with all the hard work heve done to his mean machine !!!
 
Thanks Guys! Appreciate the support! I know for sure the end result is going to be a close race. It's always hard to tell because they have to filter out the voters. Always exciting though.
