I wondered about that too, a loose wire maybe?

Posted a teaser video on youtube of the 33' running. Still got some kinks to work out. The car is at the track right now doing some more advance tests.

I can't wait to see this thing run in person. Kind of bummed I won't be able to come down to see it run this weekend.

It should be there

The car is currently on a lift, as the build team is planning their next move to fix some problems that were discovered this past weekend. The OEM FFR steering is having trouble with the load of the 295mm wide tires on the front. There is also that spark scatter problem. But it all should be resolved before Nashville where it will get some serious autocross time.

The car did make it to the Battle at the Banks event Saturday, though it did not run in the event. It attracted a lot of attention even though!

Hey George - Brett was talking at one point about testing the new Carbon springs. Did that ever get past the idea stage?

Hey Ron, haven't talked with Bret yet so he may chime in with a different answer, but I think its a sure thing. It's more a question of when. We'll probably keep the shocks and springs we have on it now until car is tuned the way we want and then switch over to air or carbon springs for testing. It might be a few months.

The springs are something along these lines: http://www.hypercoils.com/bellows-springs.html
