As long as you get it to the track Friday as close to passing tech as possible, you can bet it will be ready to race Saturday morning.

I am trying my best to get it to Gingerman on the 10th to test it out before the race.  If any issues come up on that Wednesday I still have 2 days to get it sorted.

Re: I bought a Rolls Royce and want to build it.

People will ask me, "Darko, why is it that your car is just so awesome?"

I tell them;

its because I run the good stuff.

Re: I bought a Rolls Royce and want to build it.

Good news.

Just sold enough parts on the car to have the purchase price of the car be less than $500.

Not really a $500 car, but at least its something!

Re: I bought a Rolls Royce and want to build it.

During our Crappy Single-Car Lemons Rally, we had the good fortune of getting to Darko's establishment for a meet up.  I present, for the general viewing public, the man himself....Darko.

Trust me when I say he's not gonna have a problem reaching that steering wheel.

I'm jealous of everyone that's gonna get to see this beast run at Gingerman.  It is worthy.
