Whew,, we made it!!! (well so far)

So we’re now ensconsed in that which is Altamont Motorsports Park.
It is a crazy sight that is just tough to manage, so here are a few word based snippets (having trouble linking the video right now).
Pimps and Ho’s, the ride, a sweet CRX and their crazy crew (the video is awesome) they had one heck [...]

We’ll see you at altamont with an operational car!

Yes, we’re operational. Subscribe to us over at Youtube. Have fun ignoring it! (watch the next video!)

Livery, I hate Livery!

Here’s the layered .pdf of the car (the file).  Check it out and give your drawing skills a go!

Above this,, that’s where the file is
You’ve gone too far! Back up there!

It’s ALIVE!!!! (slightly)

Work, was definitely accomplished this week.
We got the engine to begin that wonderful belching noise that means, that some way, some how,, it could come to life!
Watch the video to get really excited about just how awesome it’s going to be!
Also, we finally got to meet our crew chief in person, [...]

Tires!! (We got the Special Round ones!)

Well today, on my way to get fitted at the dentist for a face fixing device (apparently they don’t come in size “missing a brain”) I picked up the tires for our racer to be.
At Tires to Go in West Sacramento (we can’t recommend them enough!) Thanks to Dave Komaromi (a noted commenter) and the [...]

A lot got done today, from the left rear suspension (we yanked the old one, once it decided it wanted to leave) by the simple process of:
1. Remove muffler
2. Remove a bunch of other bolts
3. There are more bolts apparently
4. Suspension parts are really heavy, when you put them back in the car, have a [...]

All parts accounted for, let’s make it run!

So we finally got the rest of the running parts at the junkyard.
Do they work?! We have no idea!! But they should be the right parts,, maybe.
The best part is we couldn’t have found them without the wisdom and knowledge provided by the great Murilee Martin of Jalopnik, whose sage advice and rockin tunes [...]

Alas poor Numskull, I am him,, true.

Yes, I (Fred) am an idiot (but you really knew that already didn’t you).
When applying I brilliantly left out the fact that I needed the temp license too (my team’s laughter in the background).
I also remarkable just noticed that we need to come together as a team to set up exactly how many crew members [...]

Murilee does it again, we’re paid up, and the cage is on the way!

So special “friend of team” Murilee Martin at Jalopnik (he’s not special in that needs a helmet way, more of a “helpful human who is cool way”) . Though yes, at the race we will have a picture of Murilee in a helmet (maybe even when he’s racing!) Murilee has found on one of [...]
