It's almost ready.........

JamesB tells me the car is too clean. I admit to not working on the right things at times but any progress is sometimes uplifting. I have had more than my share of non-racing thwarts this year, so happy just to be close. If all goes well, I'll make the 10/13 race at WGI. This view pretty much shows where I am and why James ribs me. I weighed it yesterday and I'll need ballast so that a good sign. A few areas to assemble. hope to hear "vroom" by mid-week. Other than that, pretty much track ready. Have my old slicks and new R888 all mounted for the inevitable WGI wet.

I just placed a big order for my car
- rollbar padding
- right side net
- 5pt driver harness
- different style rear view (I don't like the panel "wink" mirror)
- few other misc items

should have it comfortably track-day ready once that stuff is on - still needs a second door bar to recieve a new logbook for racing though

looking good Jim

The exhaust looks vulnerable to curbing, no?

Good to hear Jim, best of luck out there!

The black rocker panels disort the proportion a bit. Also, the right side doesn't see any curbing at WGI, so I think I'm OK, but am certainly conscious of your point.

Suspension geometry limts how much you can lower that chassis. So it's higher than it other could be, thus the 'trapp is higher than it appears I think.

Update: The bottom of the rocker is 9" off the deck, the lowest part of the 'trap (which tilts up slightly is 5+ inches off deck

Jamesb is right...its too clean. Time to go dirty it up.

Have fun at WGI, I know it's been awhile for you.
