I'm still on the road -- so quicky update.
Car is beyond awesome! SO WIDE and SO LOW...... and SO MEAN!!!
We developed a minor oil leak late in the day so that killed the late day bonzai runs for real tire temps and wing changes etc.
We will run the car again in "white" at NASA in August for more data and some beginning lap times.
Having not done a test and tune day with a road race car --- it's pretty dang fun but also pretty technical! Ron has an "order" to things that he wants done and so was in constant communications with the pro - Benny Moon - who was the lucky bastard that got the seat time..... Getting everything up to temp -- bedding brakes -- and making sure things are tight -- and the computers all talking and making the changes to them for the screens "I" want to see....
Benny says "blows the tires off" -- "think of the throttle in this as a rheostat
NOT an on / off switch!". "BUT MAN CAN THIS SOB TURN!"
A late day unfixable trackside leak killed the end of day rock and roll runs --- so next up is August "in white" for seriousness!! LOL Oh Man wait until you see this thing rolling down track. Just Oh Man is about all I can say.
Thanks to Ron Sutton and Randy Chastain (One-off Customs) and they're crew!! Greg Wall (AKA Boris or TOG -- The other Greg) - Dylan - Benny Moon - Susan Chastain -- MY LOVERLY WIFE who has gone above and beyond driving trucks and serving people and just on and on..... and My buddy Rob Dickey (FETorino) for flying in last minute to help with chauffeuring "Miss Daisy" around when I got too pooped.......
