Default To the Corvette Hospital....

next Monday.

The final piece came in last night, now Lee will affix the pieces back on, splash a little paint on it and we'll be good to go, once again.

That's ACP's.

Before my crash in Oct. that broke the nose and splitter, I had the Ecklers' 2" splitter with a NASCAR COT splitter attached to it to give me 4" if I needed (we built it to be adjustable). That Ecklers' splitter was over $300, but this ACP splitter is only ~$130.

No, it's the 4" splitter. C5/A0003-FG 4".

It's the same splitter Dennis, Ryan, Wally, Ross, Mac, (I think James and Mike) have.

The nose is from Ecklers. (Cheaper than ACP's)

The nose was on backorder when I ordered it in Oct, and I got it 3 weeks ago. The splitter is built in batches and it was on order for 5 or 6 weeks. If everything had been in stock when I ordered them, I could have made the Toy Race at Road Atlanta in Dec, but it wasn't too be. I should have ordered 2 of each to avoid waits.

Adding 2 more inches can be an advantage
