Quick story about trailers...

Turns out the trailer we rented / borrowed was a touch to wide between the two planks or ramps and the car wouldn go on correctly... Or at all for that matter

Ended up doing a road side imrpov and added spacers on eachside to pull the wheels out 3/4in and get it on..!

We need a good trailer for next year or even the way back! Anyone??

Race ready

288 is ready to race in the 2011 La Carrera Panamericana!

Next week it get its racing stripes and other rece decorations. In the past few weeks we have done a lot of testing with different exhaust systems and have found significant improvements in our wheel hp output and acceleration times in 2nd and 3rd gear.

In addition we have had to swap the steering box due to excessive free play and a few other details here and there.

Overall we are very happy with this years car and the improvements.

12 days to racing!!

Almost ready to drive once more!

We have a pair of details to take care of, but overall the car is ready to drive again. We changes the location of the rear suspension travel limiting straps and they are looking much better than last year - front and rear look nicely even. This weekend its out to the track to test the car in its new configuration!
