Sorry for the long post just excited about it, thought I'd share.
Did some tweaking on FUel, sort of fast tracked I guess for the Optima Challenge. What would have been my winter projects I shipped the car off to G-Force to get it done right and fast. They busted a nut and did lots of little things, a few of the bigger items I'll mention: new heavier springs front and rear, new tires, new PVC breather catch can, new fuel baffle vent (thanks John Parsons and Mike Norris for the quick hook up), finally got a fire suppression system installed, then a bunch of the other "tweaking.'" (Read me being picky and Jason going out of his way to make me happy... Thanks Jason!!)
Really the car runs solid and strong so there was not that much to do or improve on!
Vegas... I arrive Wednesday some time early after a 24hr. straight drive with my trailer to haul it home. Meet the G Force crew hang out at SEMA and go to work on warming up those new tires.
Thursday we have some time booked at ATS to install a ATS rear stabilizer bar and fine tune the suspension. Thanks Tyler. More driving.
Friday more SEMA and a whole bunch of play time booked on a dyno. More driving.
Saturday the Optima Challenge. Really looking forward to it. I hear the track is a killer, confusing and hard to learn the corners. We only have a short practice session before a timed event. It'll be interesting with limited track experience! Jason and I will share some driving on the events so we both can have fun with the car. Thanks Larry for asking FUel to represent the site... the car is worthy and I know I'll have a blast!
Looking forward to meeting many of you hanging out and seeing some amazing cars, see ya there!:drive1:
