Now, how bout some hi-res pics of Dead Pool?




Skip, I made changes to my car for no reason other than because I thought it would look cool, and that was before I had the excuse of trying to work towards something.

Truth is it is all Brett Campbell's fault. The two of us sort of use each other's cars as a bench mark to see if we need to improve something on our own car. If he is faster than me, I'll want to try and catch up to him, and if I'm faster than him, then I know he'll be making changes, and I know that I'll soon be playing catch up again. It is fun competition and I think it has helped both of us acquire a lot more knowledge and maybe even a little more driving ability through practice. We've both taken a lot of baby steps but we've I think we've also come a long ways from when we started autocrossing a few years ago. I know we've closed the gap down on some cars that used to be beyond our benchmark for performance.

Oh, and no pics of Ron's car. It's up at QMP getting the engine buttoned up and broken in, I think.

The switches operate the headlights, headlight doors, and electric cut outs. The fourth switch was included in case something had to be added after the car was finished.
