I know I know... I hope to make many events before September Buttonwillow! Before I tore the car down I started to make a track event almost as frequently as once a month. I hope to get back into that. I'm also dying to just get the car on the road so the debugging can begin.

Thanks dude. It was exciting to pick up those final "big" pieces. Still tons of little stuff but its a lot more manageable now! I dropped off all that stuff at Brett's last night. He was pretty motivated last night to get the car wrapped up enough to free up his lift for another car. Won't hear any complaints from me on that!!

Haha Ron, yeah I'm starting to feel a bit of the pressure from all the "serious bidness" parts going into this car. I used to have a laundry list of reasons I could use as excuses if I wasn't fast. I'm pretty sure that list is going to be pretty small once done... as in maybe only one item left... the driver! ha ha

Embrace that pressure!

It's gonna be fun and I think you'll be better prepared than you think. Remember, lots of fools are getting on the track for the first time with big power. You have many days under your belt with that stockish 350. I think that can only help serve you in the safe "growth" and learning your new car.

Good to hear on yanking the car from the other shop and getting it to Fab53. That clutch line around the steering column yikes!!

Your gonna love the R888's they are an awesome tire.

And oh your new wheels look awesome mocked up.

Your not far off Chad, keep at it and it will get done.

315mm of meaty goodness out back



275 of meaty goodness up front. Front fenders will need to be rolled and inner fenders clearanced to make this work.


I can't wait to see this in person!
