Optima Ulimate Street car challange qualifiers announced today! Please Please somebody sponsor me and help me get to the event at CMP with DSE! My car is so close to being ready to flog! As you guys all know it's completly home built in my massive racecar manufacturing facility (10x20) attached to my house. I just need some incentives to get it over the line (or convince my wife to let me work on it more) and a few parts. Here's the list off the top of my head that's on the car, it's not big because I made most of what I needed myself!
DSE, Yes there's DSE parts on my car
AAW, great stuff!
QA1, also great stuff
Chevrolet, gotta hope for the big money!
Ricks 1st Gen Camaro parts
MSD

Tires (TBD) can't run Hoosier A6's at OUSCC
Wheels, Did I mention GM AKA Chevrolet?
What I need still?
Gauges, Tires, Lubricants, Brake pads, Roll cage, Safety Equipment (Harness, Fire equip ect..)
My qualifications?
I'm the VA State Auto X champ in ESP (in my WS6) Multiple champ in ESP in my local club, I'm running HPDE3 with NASA in my WS6. I've run VIR and RA, but not CMP yet. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I built the car entirely by myself with no shop, time or money? Does that help?
Ok, Enough of the grovoling (sp?) Here's what I did on monday my day off.
Since I had the fender off, I decided to finish up the mocked up front downbars and get it ready for the new front sheet metal.
after some welding time and more grinding time this is where I ended up.
I'm expecting a few parts I need while the car is up on the stands this week, then I'll put it on the ground and turn it around so I can do the other side to prepare for the new front sheet metal.
If the Braille Battery disqualifies me, I'll add an Optima!
