Snitz track car/I need to towel off!

We are getting pretty Fricken close! Shown below is the Motec wiring getting reconnected after paint

Now for the carbon fiber dash and Motec LCD.

Fire projection sys:

The sway bars we had fabricated. They are approx 2” in diameter. The wings on each side can be rotated 90 degrees to adjust the stiffness.

Rear wing being mounted

Looking good Tom. Is it going to see the track before October 31st? If so, you need to contact me so that I can be present for the inaugural drive . . . .

Congrats!

Don,

I'm sure Tom will give you plenty of warning so you can see me driving this bad boy!

I'm raffling off inaugural first drive tickets. Mike has been pleading and begging however as he wants to be the first guy to take this baby sideways across the finish line!

But seriously folks, George is shooting to get this baby out of the bull pen for a drive next week! I'm on the edge of my seat!

It's ACP's world challenge wing. Talk to Kerry over there if you want more info. Great guy.

Thanks. Your drive-train that's sitting in the middle of it isn't too shabby either. It won't be long till your Warhawk monster has a chance to let loose on some pavement!

ACP roof glued on yesterday. Roof Lexan front/rear windshields are installed. Wiring harness/elect rehook just about done. Front brake ducts installed so front bumper, splitter & undertray can get attached.
