In laymans' terms Dave, would you say that is so that Mayhem and Red Devil don't just fry the tires at will like the car is on a frozen lake? Wait... did that Minnesota analogy get lost on some?

Sorry guys for no updates, we have pulled a bunch of all nighters to get the car running. It sounds great. I love LS engines. Brian Thomson and Dave Mikels gave me a engine and calibration that when I hit the key it rolled over about 1/2 a revolution and fired up. Ryan Kuhlenbeck's wiring was flawless so we power it up and did some trouble shooting and found a ground wire I missed then it fired up.

Matt and the guys from Sled Alley have done some 24 hour days to get it done. The car looks killer.

My buddy Tom Gardner help me all weekend finish up the wring so that is all done.

The car will be running and driving this Friday at the Formula 43 Wheel open house in Livonia, MI.

We are going to break it in this weekend and take it to Gingerman for a shake down Oct 13 - 14.

I will post some pictures of the Formula 43 open house.

This project has been a huge team effort. I hope is performs well at the track for the test.

Mark

Dang! If my buddy wasn't getting married that weekend I'd be cruising up to Gingerman to watch. I guess I will have to see it at SEMA!
I can't wait to see all this awesomeness!
