How many days before Phil gets here for the tune? I hope Ricky is ready to fit the last two weeks worth of work he missed into that time frame.

Also, how long of a break in are you planning to get done before Phil gets here?

phil is not tuning it until the week before the shootout and we're headed down there. i don't have any other details right now. we may be able to get it on the track at englishtown on the wed. before the meet.

before ricky got sick we were days from starting and another day or so before driving. nothing has changed. that means possible startup over the weekend and driving it early next week.

i want to thank all of our friends on iwsti for your support and counsel.

update:

ricky and kevin are busy titdying up a couple loose ends so kevin can finish tig welding the cage and ricky can go back to the fuel system, which is turning out great.

the plan has been to buiild a roll bar and add the top hoop and front supports later, perhaps this winter. we would do it now but we're dropping the fronts through the dash and negotiating the fuse box and assorted crap on the driver side is going to be a pita and is best put off for now.

i'll get pics up when i have so to take. we remain on schedule for a weekend startup. a number of people are making plans to stop by on sunday.

Maybe I missed it but what was Ricky's problem? That was pretty scary. Sounds like an extreme stomach virus of some kind. I was seriously wondering if he was gonna die!

that's funny, i was seriously wondering if i was going to kill him for not taking care of himself.

it wasn't a virous or anything contagious. the results of his "gerbilcam" tests revealed something had crawled up his ass and died. turned out, it was the gerbilcam's cousin.

we've got plenty in store next; hydramist, blackout paint, dog box, fast rack, full cage, bigger turbo swaps? don't worry.
