A few pics of the final car! Cold weather kept it off the track today
Special thanks to Adam 'SOLO' Boca for an awesome paint job!
Special thanks to Jason & Katech for helping me build one of the fastest road race corvettes around!
Here are pics of the final scheme. I will be adding Katech decals shortly which will be the last addition.
Here are a few that were taken today.

Thank you John,
The helmet is fitted for a cooling system. There are two tubes coming from the rear cooler. As you know, cool suits accept cold water but the helmet tube pumps in cold air. The helmet is also fitted for a motorized drink straw activated by a steering wheel button.
My other helmet is an Arai GP5 and has the same fitting but on the side as top mounting was not an option on that model.
Top mounting provides better airflow to the persons head. The helmet pictured is a Bell Infusion.
Here's a closer shot and you can see the straw fitting in front.

Thank you,
I'm sure it will take me a few months to sort out but I'm looking forward to the learning experience and progressing from how it ran last year.

Right now I will use it primarily at Autobahn and enjoy trying to set it up properly. I wanted to build an absolute monster purely for recreation given my daily track access. I may run a few SPOs events with it.
I have a T-1 car (Al Longtin's old car) I will race this year in SCCA and NASA. That will be a little cheaper of a program.
