Default I can smell race fuel in the air

Warm weather is coming to the north east. The cover is coming off the vette. I ordered new pressure bleeder from motive, new shoes from Pilotti and in the process of ordering new wheels and tires from ccw.

The only thing this could mean - track days are coming soon....

Man I would loved to have been there to have that memory!
Just born about 10 years too late.

Still waiting on Spherical Bearings so I can put on all my new stuff and get the car corner weighted and aligned. They are supposed to be here by next Friday.
I did a huge list of things to the car this winter after the "incident" at WG.
It is now a dedicated track car (no interior of any kind and no AC) that can pull my little trailer and be driven to the track.
Hopefully it will be ready for Limerock 3/27.

My first day is going to be about 10-15 laps. Then come on home and check things out! Many changes have happened and it really needs a good old fashion shake down!!!
