Its on like Donkey Kong! Chumpcar style...

So I thought I'd start with a nice view that most of our competitors will be seeing next weekend. BABOOOM! Plus I wanted to show off our fatty 275 rear tires on our craigslist used Supra wheels. If they made a wider size of the tire we use, I'd probably have tried to squeeze it on. But I like these regardless. It should be fun to run these tires at temperature this weekend. It was too cold at Road America.


With a few new changes done earlier in the year (new bumper), and a few issues we think we had (fans at RA), we decided to hard wire a few more things then we did before. No more relying on the car's computers to turn things on. We hard wired new light switches for the new light bar we built, and we added a switch for the engine fans. Sure they could get turned off or left off by accident, but essentially everything on the top row should be turned on before starting the car. The second row with headlights and defrost are optional based on the conditions. We also ended up relocating our master killswitch to clean things up.


And here is the aforementioned headlight bar. Quick and easy installation. Just need to aim the lights on Friday night and we should be set for the darkness overnight in Iowa.


And lastly a picture for me as reference to the work we were doing on the alignment. We didn't leave ourselves enough time to visit the alignment guy, so we're getting it done ourselves. It should be close enough once we do the final setting. Had to play around a bit to see where our limits were and then went to recheck where we wanted it. We'll finish setting it this week, or Friday night at Iowa.


Big thanks to everyone who put in time making sure we got things finished up in time for Iowa after the damage at Road America. We're off on Friday morning for the land of corn and racing!
