OMG...Now you are going to have to find another "aero secret" to get an advantage. Looks good though!!! I am actually impressed. How are they in? Superglue? JB Weld? Bungee cords? Bubblicious?

We can get them working this weekend if desired. Let me know what you are lacking in parts.

I'm leaving them nonfunctional. I don't need 4 lights telling people when I'm braking.

Damn! Wally with most of the holes filled in. Who'd have ever thunk it!

BTW, I see you still got that spear sticking out from the right rear. Looks like you lengthened it by about 4 or 5 inches. You need to put DOT clearance lights on that thing.

See you this weekend!

AWESOME! I'm glad to hear you're coming, I was worried you were still dealing with ABS issues.

Maybe you can teach me how to shift with this new clutch.

You know Kaiser had something going on with his FF5 brake lights a couple of years ago at VIR. I'm not in the habit of watching for brake lights, but I was following him into T1 and I was right up on him pretty close, and couldn't help but notice no brake lights came on as we were braking pretty hard. Then I noticed no lights in every braking zone.

After the race I asked jokingly asked him if he had a switch in the cockpit to disable the lights since he had to have them to pass tech.

He looked at me, and with feigned shock said, "You mean my brake lights aren't working? Nah, that can't be so!" We both laughed about it.

You don't need to shift, just leave it in 3rd the whole away around the track. You'll be amazed how much throttle response you'll have.

I'm picking up the car in the morning. Hopefully, the problem is fixed and it'll be good to go.
