It's Cold! Like really Cold! But I've been trying to move ahead to get the interior back in shape. Put the new NRG wheel assembly together with the quick release, and I added a subtle touch with the "rs" emblem on the horn button, Just like the factory cars! and the horn will work with the quick release! (not that hitting the horn on the racetrack has any influence)

also, trying to clean up the dash and interior trim, tomorrow the dash gets all the attention, but at least now it's ready to be stripped.

Kudos for the DIY IRS setup!

According to my Equestrian Wife the "Hind End" is back in the Trackmaro, may be driving around next weekend for pre VIR shakedown runs. Hitting the Dyno on March 16 for NASA time trials certification for this year. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to add weight to the car to make TT2 specs.

I honk at the flaggers after the checker to show my appreciation. They work in the sun all day long. I give a more aggressive honk at the end of the last session.

I love your car and what you do with it.

Keep the weight off and go TT1. Fast lap times FTW

I ran TTU last year, I was way outclassed there! I just can't keep up with a Daytona Prototype

TTU is a joke. May as well call it TTDP(Deep Pockets). I run TT1. I should be in TTU but lets get real. No way anybody can run with the proto types. Either way we all run at the same time anyways so it doesn't really matter unless your in it for the contingencies. If that's the case then you have to run with a group that has like 7 or more cars in it? Cant remember but I don't pay attention to it anyways. I'm just in it for the lap times.

I'm hitting the Dyno on March 16th, I'll know where I am power to weight at that point. I'm not going to be competitive in TT1 or TT2, the other cars have too much aero advantages over my brick, I'm just out there as field filler.
Anyway, I'm restoring the dash to go along with the new steering set up and gauges going in, So I decided to cut it up a bit to make room for a double Din Radio. I've seen some pretty cool ones that you can sync to your IPhone and run some of the apps from your phone. I'm hoping I can get my lap timer to display on the bigger screen, and at least be able to stream some 80's music from Pandora! This is what I got done yesterday, today final sanding and the black gets applied.

Everthing is restored and ready to go back into the car. And the Dash is a nice shade of Satin Black.

All back together and running strong! The new gear really makes this thing Quick! I went over to my buddies house to help him corner weight his Corvette Track car and I went on the scales to do mine. It was almost perfect from the beginning with a 51% cross weight, but we moved it down to 48% because most of our tracks are right handers. The car comes in at #3160 with me and 1/2 tank of gas and crossed out at 48% with adjustments. It's 54/46 front to rear! Hitting the Dyno tomorrow for TT2 classifications, I'm going to have to add weight or cut power I'm sure.
