UPDATED 9 May 2011

Plans for the car are as follows: Auto X and Circuit X and HPDEs are in my future. When I rebuilt the engine, thats what i was thinking about, mostly HPDE. Cost was an issue, but i know I have a stout block to continue doing what I want. Also, I am now married as of 6 August, 2010! Once the engine is finished with break in (at 600mi now) I will be working on suspension/bushings/bracing almost exclusively and hitting as many driving events as work will let me!

Big shout out to Dave, Robbie and Jap @ Epic Motorsports in Fayetteville, NC for all their help with installs and almost everything done on my car! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Re: HPDE Dates inside!! DD/Tracked, WRB 05, ARFAB block, Dom 4 XTR; 400WHP@20PSI

I found these, unfortunately the others got deleted... :(


Notice how much extra is on the front, so no clamp is needed. This allows for easy install and uninstall of the ducts.


A little bit of rubbing, just testing the limits; 100% of it happened while I was driving around in the paddock. Also, notice the bracket I made with some folded aluminum sheeting(i think its actually called flash @ lowes), cut with tin snips. A few explanations of why it is this way: 2 silver screws keep the aluminum from rotating; the fold allow it to be more rigid, and it allows the tab on the duct itself to go in between the sheets so the bolt doesn't smash the sh*t out of the plastic tab. The bracket stays on the car at all times(those are self tapping screws and the bolts I had lying around). The aluminum flash provided a light, cheap solution that wouldn't cost a fortune to screw up.


This picture just shows the concept before the bracket was made/installed.

Any chance you can rehost the brake duct pics?
