I can't wait to see how the changes work out. :thumbsup:

We've now done a few test sessions and are pretty happy with the way that things are working. I'll add some additional documentation shortly about the specifics of our test sessions at Willow Springs but for now a quick update:

We got the wing (mostly) working:



We ended up shorting the VSS signal line when we swapped shocks in the pits so the high speed correction wasn't working properly but you get the idea. We have some additional work to do on dialing the angles in for the airflow off the first gen but so far, so good.


Mary took some laps on the big track at Willow Springs:



It was her (our) first time on the track and things went well all things considered. We had some rubbing issues with the front end (which more-or-less fixed itself) but other than that everything was perfect. The rub was actually really interesting... Carl went out and came back with some mild damage do to a rub with his new setup and as I walked back to the OLC I found damage at exactly the same spot. If nothing else demonstrated the similarity of the two cars (at the time).

With a couple of days on the road course done and a couple of autocross weekends in the books the car went to Car West Elite in Freemont, CA to get the front end prepared for the wrap and for the wrap itself. Nice thing about Car West is that their general manager - the talented Mr. Brian Hobaugh - is pretty understanding of what we are doing. I can't thank Brian enough for getting things squared away.

Here she is before the wrap:

and with everything done:

That airdam/splitter looks right at home Jim. Great design and will definitely do the job it is intended for........ and I think you just topped the charts in the coolness colomn with that wing. Pretty amazing technology.

Looking forward to hearing more. :thumbsup:

It's okay I guess -- if that's what you're in to.



Love the new front end James! Car is going to be awesome!

I think it looks great, you kept lots of '67 Camaro appearance by using the standard grill.

The soundtrack of the rear wing video really would make a nice lullaby... the forward facing one not so much.

Thanks guys.

Greg - I'm going to assume you're home now so I have something on its way to you - should be there by the end of the week.

Yeah... Sorry about that... I forgot to post the "turn the volume way down" warnings. Video 1 is a Hero 3 and video 2 is a Replay. As frustrating as the older GoPros were the new one is actually pretty decent. The Replays (which I bought after I lost all faith in the GoPros) have proven to be unreliable at best :rolleyes:... This years One Lap updates will most likely by via Crayola...

HEY! You left out the most important picture. And, why am I the first to mention this?

I have five GoPro's that 3 of 5 have audio interference issues which are manufacturing defects that they dodge via their warranty policy. My Hero3 has been OK so far, but a Google search reveals they are having issue too.

I was hoping the Replay XD would be the solution.........

Have you tried the Contour?

The car is looking great, can't wait to see it with the wrap. :thumbsup:

Looks great James. OLC just gets better with age:thumbsup:

When trying to fit a 10lb tire in a 10lb hole, sometimes somethin's gotta give.

It's looking good James. You're well sorted considering the condensed timeframe. I still wish there was another month or two, but 29 days and it's time to go.
