We got about 500 miles on the car.. Car has very good street manners.. The short links on the 3 link rear suspension gives it a bit of a rough ride.. Still trying to find the right shock set-up in the rear.. The lower control arms have been hitting the inner wheel @ lock to lock on pass side.. We just re-designed a new lower control arm to fix that problem.. Fabricate them next week.. Gonna change the cam in the motor.. Don't like where the power band comes on & the car bucks from 1k to 3k on the rpm while street driving.. Karl will not like that.. Installing the same cam as we have in Blu Balz..

In two weeks we take it out to Buttonwillow for its first shake down run on the road course.. So I got a list of about 10 items I need to fix before it goes on the big track.. Karl will be driving it for the first time that weekend.. & we also have Danny Popp coming to SoCal to give me driving instruction on the road course & work with Karl on improving some of his driving technique plus do some big track testing for the Challenger & Blu Balz..
