We wait....................



Here are current pictures of the race car. It is together and ready to go for the most part - what is left is the safety items and things that have to be SFI certified in order to pass technical inspection at a race. That includes: the seat belts, blower restraint/bag, engine diaper, fire bottles, bellhousing and clutch. The reason I haven't sent these items off for re-certification is that I am not 100% sure that I will be able to race the car in 2010.That will depend on several things - mostly sponsorship/finances and my work schedule. SOOOOO, we are in a holding pattern to see what time brings.
You will also notice in the pictures that the car has a different nose piece and fewer body panels on it. This is the alternate short body that I have for it. If we do run the car this year we'll most likely use this shorter and lighter body.
That's all I have for now. Thanks for checking my blog!!!

Chassis fixed and back home.






David and I took the car to Indianapolis over Halloween weekend and got the top tube of the chassis replaced and a few other minor changes. Keith Burgan, otherwise known as "Rooman" because he's from Australia, did a great job and let David and I help where we could. Rooman is a master craftsman and did a GREAT job on the car.
I am putting the car back together now as I have spare time. I'll take some pictures soon and give another update.
Thanks for checking in!
