    I've got a LOT of work to get my car track ready. New motor, finish details on cage, re-wire, finish seam welding, install lexan, etc... Less than 2 months to get it put back together and tuned...

        Schimmel did all of the BeerTech cages as well. He's a good fabricator just make sure you are detailed in what you want and don't let him talk you out of a dash bar!

        DE's are a tease.

                I was all ready. And then my company merged and announced my job is being terminated. :(
                Maybe next year.

                  Damn Dwight, sorry to hear that. Are you holding on to the car? Hopefully things will come together quickly for you, and you can salvage a little bit of the season.

                  I'm hoping to get out with my buddy to Willow Springs mid March, for the seasons first HPDE.

                    I am ready to do HPDE's in my car all i need to do is order some new stickum tires and it will be set.

                    As far as racing goes I have the old 2dr E30 Pro3 car ready to rock : New fluids, valve adjustment new tires are in and awaiting mounting.

                    The new 4 door Pro3 car just got out of paint and I will be installing all the suspension, fuel system, fire system, belts, radio, seat, lexan rear windows and when the motor gets back installing it and firing it up!!!

                      I'm getting there. Fluids, tires, and spark plugs are fresh and just got a valve adjustment. I need new rear wheel bearings and an alignment. I also want to install a passenger seat and harness for an instructor and friends to ride along. Oh yeah, I also need more decals (including number). Should be ready to rock by mid-February!

                      See you guys at Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Cal Speedway and maybe even Spring Mountain!

                      P.S. Almost forgot: I need to get the tow vehicle running right. Without that my race car just sits. :(
