Thanks for posting the pics. I love seeing the details of a real race car. Have you ever had to source a replacement side impact absorber? If so, where do you find something like that? Would it be possible to take some more detailed pictures showing how that absorber attaches to the chassis please?

Thanks
Ken

How often do you have to do that? Every race?

Is this prep for The Mitty?
Your car looked great at RA last year.

On the lower left side of the engine, is that the alternator and is it ducted for cooling? If so, does it use a fan assembly or just an air scoop somewhere on the car?

Thanks for posting the pic....racing really is a full time job when you really think about it.
