Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Been busy with relocating and work.

Books closed on my car for the rest of this year. If all goes well I'm hoping to get back to T-Hill next season and work on shaving a few more seconds off my lap times. Also, I have around 170 lbs of weight savings thats sitting around that needs to be painted and installed.

Stopped by Vinces shop a couple of weeks ago and he installed a custom toe hook that he made for the rear of my car. It's very cool looking and if I had my camera i would have taken some pic's.

Thanks Vince, appreciate it.

Thanks for asking guys. All parts and pieces are in for the motor. The motor is at Vinces shop about 2 hours away and I have been super busy with work. Too beat on Saturdays to do anything at all and have been spending time with the family on Sundays. Even squeezed a couple days of sno-boarding in. I got started on the motor a few weeks ago but didn't have time to finish.
Vince has been buried also so he hasn't been able to do his end of the work either. My sway bar is connected to the body of the car and the sheetmetal on the body has torn. Vince is going to weld the sheetmetal back together and then make a support brace for the sway bar. Once he completes that he is going to make my existing sway bar adjustable. Once thats done he's going to install an upper eyelet mount for the rear shocks I will be getting. Cant order the shocks until the motor is in, car is corner weighted, and we've calculated motion ratios.
Goal is to have it ready for the NASA Thunderhill event on May 18th so we still have time.
