I was talking to BL yesterday and he told me something I had not even thought about. We only have four weekends to get our cars ready for the first race at MSRH. I had moved the car into the garage but was thinking I had plenty of time. With the next two weekends taken by the holidays that only leaves two to get the car ready. Lots of work to do. I never go to the NASA forums and I guess I missed the schedule. I thought what I saw posted was just a maybe.

I'm in the same boat, I just redid my cage in 2" so I could fit more NOS in it, still gotta weld it up and paint it!
I also just replaced my windshield, where is the best place to get a new banner?

...where is the best place to get a new banner?Can probably pick up at at the track... or, just not run one and start every session at the back?!?

Best idea you have ever had Dave. I like Tyler starting in the back.

Is Wade the go to guy?numbers/letters, yes. I thought Will/Al/Glenn/Marshall had the class series windshield banners.

I try not to break my own windshield so I won't need a new one.

I can hook you up with numbers, class designations, toyo stickers, etc in your choice of fonts, colors and so forth. I make racers a good deal because I bought the vinyl machine specifically to stick it to sign companies who were overcharging racers. I prefer not to do the windshield banners since they are four color (white, red, blue, black) which is 4 times the materials, and 10 times the labor. I'm just not set up for that. Early orders get better deals than week of race :-p Preaching to the choir I am sure. Cough Francis! Cough.

I recommend something in red, white and blue maybe with a large white star on each front fender.

I'll look but I dont believe I have any CMC banners cut for 4th gen windshields. On the nasaponycars site is info to a shop that will make them for like $20.

Here is where we are with our new car. Quite a bit of work left to do. I'm confident it will be done for the start of the new season. Just not sure which season...


Oh, the Orange Camaro has been prepped and ready to go and in the trailer for a while. We made sure to do that before we took up the lift with the new car. The goal is to have the engine, suspension, and drive train back in the new car so we can roll it off the lift before we do something bad enough to the Orange car that we need to put it on the lift. With Dan driving, that should probably be the practice day on the Friday before the first event... :-)

The transmission and rear end are out being freshened up and we are waiting on our next big parts order. Our last work day on Monday was productive but didn't accomplish anything towards our goal because of the missing stuff. Hopefully the reassembly will go quickly after the new year.
