Topic: Last minute thrashing?

We are are under two weeks until our race at Thunderhill.

Still quite a bit to do:

ROLL CAGE
seat
harnesses
batt cut-off
brakes
decorations


Anybody stressing out?
I'll relax after the cage is done.

We need to install the fire bottle, put it on the trailer and gas it up.

Just a few welds to tighten up and we're pretty much there.

Re: Last minute thrashing?

I should have pushed harder while we were on the waitlist.

Two weeks before Buttonwillow our car looked like this:

and our engine like this:

The first time the car drove was at the track on test/tech day. Paid for a whole day but only got 2 laps in... Nobody but me got to drive the car before their first stint-- and 2 driver's had never driven a right hand drive car (shift with left hand) before their first stint on the track.

Yours is your track day car (or former) and should be easy to finish the prep in 2 weeks.

We had to replace the brakes after ChumpCar portland, but we haven't touched it since... Our poor motor

Re: Last minute thrashing?

I have set my schedule so that I will not have to work from this Wednesday morning until the Tuesday after the race.

Re: Last minute thrashing?

The car is done for us, but we haven't started packing yet.  Sounds like we are driving part of the way there tonight, and plan to roll in around noon tomorrow.  I hate to think where our pit is going to be, but whatever.
