Bears have wings?

Okay, so I just had to start with a picture of our bear hair. People have been asking about it, so I thought I'd snap a quick pic.


For this next race, we thought we'd pay homage to the NASCAR boys and add a spoiler to our car. We'll see if it makes any downforce or not, but at least it looks cool and only cost about $20 to make. We also added some polycarbonate for the back window and side rear windows in an attempt to help our chances at actually getting any aerodynamic help.




Then we got a few more things hooked up inside for the driver. Lights are wired, radio is wired to a PTT (push to talk) button that's now steering wheel mounted. We also have two little surprises that are now wired. Just need to throw in a few more zipties and we're all set.


And FINALLY, we have our most complete checklist yet for a weekend of work! Top off the oil, get the new tires mounted, and get packed for the race. Should be good and prepared by the end of the week. We're off for the race in Iowa Friday the 25th, for the 24 hour race the 26-27th. We'll post post-race stuff as soon as we get back.
