That "Please return to Lance Richert" on the "is" spoiler is as classic as it gets!

I want to know how the SpeedVision vinyl reappeared. ;)

What an adventure, Lance. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through the trip!

Lance, when is the planned 1st race back?

We raced the car yesterday, see my previous post. I'll post a little youtube video of the cars spinning on front of me in a couple of days. I've taken more than a few vacation days to get the car repaired, so I'm now catching up at work.

I've thought about trying to get it registered again just for the fun of it.

I would!

Great to see it track worthy again and thanks for sharing this process! Good luck with your racing Lance.

I have some in-car video of the race that I'll post later this week. There was a 3-car spin out right in front of me. It was indeed a scare with the paint barely being dry!

OMG, please don't get in trouble....hang in the back of the pack for a little while...lol.

Ready to Race

The car was out for a test day at the track on Friday, we're running old race tires on bottlecaps:



Saturday morning we started to put the graphics on the front of the car, finally it is looking really familiar:



Glad to report the race weekend went well. Our goal was to just get through the weekend clean, and not go through this again any time soon. The motor needs some time to break in, so we are being patient as we dial in the car. The car corner-weighted 51% first time on the scales which was awesome. The car handles like it did pre-crash. We're down about 500 RPM at start/finish due to the tight engine, we expect a few more hours of operation and we'll have full power and running near the front of the PRO-3 grid again.

Thank you all for watching this thread, I hope it was interesting to see the process. It certainly was intersting to watch it happen first hand.

Seriouly Lance, wash your wheels. ;)

Looks awesome Lance! Must feel good too!

Is this car registered to drive on the street?

Feels great right now. Ran the car up to Snoqualmie Pass and back on a trip permit to do some engine break in prior to the test day at the track tomorrow. The drive reminded me that Ground Control AD shocks, 900lb springs at the rears, no sound deadening, no radio, no AC, and 90 degrees outside makes for a shitty street car. LOL

The car is not registered. We usually move it around on a trailer. It does have working turn signals, brake lights and headlights. It doesn't have a catalytic converter. Though I bet it would still pass emissions. I've thought about trying to get it registered again just for the fun of it.
