After the first test, the plan was to use a crew chief, and prep shop in Wisconsin to help us out with the car. During 2005, the car went out to a few events, a couple of SEMA shows, and a couple of time attack events. I will eventually post up a couple of pictures from the 2005 events and some results.

Right after the time attack, the plan was to strip the car down to check it out, get it repainted, and build it up to
World Challenge specifications. Most of the pictures are from my camera phone, so the quality is not the best.

We did an ad for NOS Energy drink. |
For the NOS ad, we just hung everything in place, tossed in a seat, and did some shots with the bare chassis.
Just looking at the pictures, really doesn't show how much work, or how many parts you have when you take a car down to what I call "parade rest". Now the white car was ready to be built up to
World Challenge specs.
God! it's a real thing of beauty man, sooo nice! It must have been so much fun to work and drive on a car like that
ReplyDeleteP.s: what do you guys think about the new layout, I've been getting told that its "too busy" and should go back to something more simple.
ReplyDeleteSean I keep adding these posts to your SCCA page in the "About the authors" section, so there all there from beginning to end if someone wants to read like the full story.
I like more simple. I think it is too busy. I really don't dig the rainbow colors and the birds. They don't do anything for me.
