I sent the car off on it's way to Vegas this morning. Could've spent another 8 hours cleaning all the road grime, from street driving it all the time. Oh well, it hasn't looked this good since I've had it.

The Tigercage turned out real nice, the car feels totally different with my very limited time driving it after installation. Can't wait to feel it on track.
I didn't do a bunch of major changes like, well, most of the other cars that are going did (or are still doing..). I prefer to run what I know. There is a huge comfort in that for me. I could've put the new mill in, changed the clutch and the tranny to hold the power, put a DBW pedal in and a new computer, exhaust, cooling system...but for what? A position or two better? I'd probably do worse since I'd be trying to learn it all again in one event.

A few pics I took last night

I think you were smart to leave it as is Aaron, I went to SCCA Nationals with a new untested set-up and paid the price for it in the CAM Invitational. It was a simple change that got the car driveable on course again, but I still then had to readjust my driving a bit to the new setup once it was dialed in. I didn't really get fast again until the last day I was there.

Car looks great, I'm sure you are gonna have a blast out in Vegas with it.

Looks great Aaron, Will have to catch up next week in Vegas.

Probably a good choice not jumping on the bandwagon of the SEMA trash and make a bunch of changes. Like you said then you would have through all of what you worked on over the season out the window. Good luck out there next week :thumbsup:

Heck yeah Paul, see you out there! Hate to throw the season away, it was way to expensive to do that! :lol: Thanks

Payton King 10-29-2014 10:12 AM

I am sure it is somewhere in your thread...I assume you made the coil mounts? Any pics?

65_LS1_T56 10-29-2014 02:04 PM

Payton, yes I did. Not sure I posted any info or pics though.
Looks like this is all I have. They were made from solid billet.

I wish Aaron... I wasn't able to put everything together to make the trip this year.

And believe me, update pictures posts like this are NOT helping me get over the fact either. :D

65_LS1_T56 11-11-2014 05:03 AM

It was nice to meet a lot of you guys this past weekend at OUSCI and the Lat-g get together! For everyone that stopped by with all the encouragement and nice compliments, THANK YOU! It was an honor to even be there with the amazing cars and drivers that were invited.

I had such an awesome time out there, words can't describe. Thanks to Ron Sutton for all the help with the car and my driving too.

Here are a few photos I took, wish it was more but I was experiencing the "moment".

Is there a story that goes along with this picture though? :D

I was waiting for that! Lol, yes there is. So the umbrella girls were looking for a ride to the SEMA Ignited party Friday after the show. We were towards the end of the parade of OUSCI cars and I already offered my passenger seat to a friend of a friend. He's like "oh, I'll jump this harness bar and get in the back if she wants in". So he did (funny to watch he was a big guy). She was super nice, very personable and articulate too. She took the selfie too.

Yes, it was a great weekend. Car performed as it has all year, solid. I could not be happier with the abuse that I threw at it at every event and NO failures all year. Pads and tires. Lots of tires...

Soon Donnie, car isn't even back from Vegas yet. Lots to do this winter.

65_LS1_T56 11-15-2014 07:15 PM

OUSCI roadcourse video from Las Vegas. Had to give Wes in the Apache the point by after my tires quit cooperating. Sure had a great time.


65_LS1_T56 11-16-2014 07:43 AM

And some autocross video from OUSCI. Gotta say, the side by side courses were pretty cool.

Spiffav8 11-16-2014 09:05 AM

Great video Aaron! We had a lot of fun at the event and it was nice to meet you.

I've been meaning to put something up on the Tigercage, haven't got to it yet. Might be awhile on the motor install..I've got some other, more pressing, upgrades to do to another car first...

SSLance 12-11-2014 06:25 PM

Aaron, I walked by Speedway's booth at PRI today with their 9" and floater ends sitting there. I was on a mission with no time but I'll go back tomorrow and take a closer look at it...

Aaron, so what other mods are pressing at this time? I would be :headspin: trying to set the new engine.

Sorry, didn't catch the previous response. I completely understand.
Happy wife, Happy life.
That is why today, on my day off, the house will get cleaned before any garage work gets done. And I'm thinking to myself, stupid, get busy instead of posting on here. HAHA

Yes, she has made it a clear goal to be driving her car next year. Which means mine will be moved to the back burner unfortunately.

Now, get busy!
