Are you going to mold or have it digitized?

That question has come up a couple times over the last day or two... Long story short (a) if there is enought serious interest then (b) we could probably do molds for the hood and valence after One Lap. That will give me a chance to validate the design as well.

And I am really happy with how the car has come together...

What are you going to do if you hit a nutria or beaver! I was thinking two-fold, first a replacement nose or two for yourself, then maybe sell the design to Anvil or similar?

We're about out of time for making a spare anything... we hit the road in less than eight weeks and have a bunch of stuff to cram in to that two months.

I wouldn't do it without testing/proving regardless. It has to work before I would even consider it (for me or a customer). I'd would do it but I imagine it would be a limited run by via a composite expert.

And we've hit things before and will probably do so again... It's just tin and what can be built can be built again...

Got a few of those in Oregon :D They'd most likely go over the top, those aquatic ground-huggers would destroy that gorgeous craftsmanship below the grille.

The car is looking great, keep the pedal down! :thumbsup:

That's why you've got point after dark... No wait...

Man... You guys have GOT to get a camera crew to follow along. Get Jimi to pull some strings or something. This is worthy of TV coverage. A small group of Protouring enthusiasts take on the OLoA....

That would be cool. We looked into the option of doing something similar (and using a very familiar Pro-Touring "personality") including live video from the events but no sponsorship this year means no can do. I'd love to pitch something like that one day...

LOL! Low man on the OLoA totem pole.

There's a way to link Trackmaster uploads for people to watch in near real-time. It would be cool for the track events but we'd need an AT&T sponsorship for around-the-country coverage.

Last year there were two teams doing One Lap that used Livestream to stream video of the event. I saw OLC a few times, but they were qualified up front, so they took down the feed once they were done running & hit the road. They even kept the feed going in the car. The audio was good, the video was slow and jerky.
