Thanks to a lot of folks for helping me this weekend and for getting me there with a working car. David, Scott, Sean, Paul, Jeremy, Craig, Al, Pranav, Bryan, Richard Wooten, Alamo Autosports, Texas Track Works, Heritage Collision, Dederichs Motorsports, Driveshaft Specialists, Moonlight Printing, Motul, Brian Walden and others for helping with wiring for brake lights, stickers, sway bar mount bracket, axle end cap seal issues, hood fitment and rear seal, tools, RD duties, fabrication, tire mounting, etc. Without the assistance, I'm not sure the car would have seen much track time.

After getting the car back from the body shop on May 29th, I spent the next nine days, minus a few days work trip to Phoenix, reassembling the car - primarily custom 8.8 rear end fitment, ABS sensor setup, torque arm mount clearance (hello sledge hammer), rear sway bar fitment, headers, new exhaust, dynoing, alignment, corner balancing, custom driveshaft, trans rebuild, radiator repair, etc. including an all nighter last week.

It all came together with a few strokes of good luck, key timing on parts delivery, good friends, blood, sweat, and lack of sleep. As it turned out, the car was pretty spot on. It's the best it has ever run at Hallett (and maybe at any track ever), and was seriously hooked up.

The food was great. Awesome job on the smokers, Mr. Chefs.

A few things on the car list to cleanup or properly fix, then off to Pueblo to race for July 4th weekend.

Happy to be involved with NASA Texas and the Thunder group! Y'all rock!
