    Engine and trans are in, the car is running and driving. Dash and windshield are also back in. Getting there!

      The cage looks great, can't put too much emphasis on safety.

        That cage looks great! Loving the metal dash, I have the same plans for mine this summer.

          Is that dash just the metal skeleton underneath the padding/vinyl?

                Well, it's blue and orange. It's a 10 footer... maybe a 50 footer. Rustuleum and a roller.





                It's been a long week. Did rear wheel bearings, rotors/pads/hoses all around, replaced the coolant system, made hood pins, lowered the steering column, and about a million other things. Still need to get the seat/harness mounted and do cage padding, and replace our leaking radiator. Then get some Jager/Red bull vinyl on the car. That should be printed shortly.

                      Nope, no need for it, and it's light years past the allowed budget.

                        A class here we come....with how many penalty laps you guessing? Imagine it will be less that the 5.0L E30 that ran at Monticello a few years ago.

                          Not sure. We actually aren't over $500, unlike 90% of the cars out there. But we're just there to have fun, we know we have no chance of winning, so whatever they give us is fine.

                            Trust me, Endurance race....turn laps all the time don't pass under yellow and avoid contact. And guess what you will finish top 25.

                            If two of our guys would stop picking up penalties for yellows and one of the offender has been in more collisions than we have races under our belts we would be a decent team.

                            It's the bacon spectacle.

                            Bring a few bribes...find out what judges will be there and so forth. But don't rely on that.
