A list of things it could be so far:

A velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on

Something similar to that Tom Green show episode only imposed with moms' faces

Nipple collage

My Little Pony laser space war (historical version not the silly democratic unicorn fallacy one)

As I penned it, I immediately wished I had thought of that before I printed.

Alan, the rig is looking good. I am off Friday and Saturday. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
#134
Lookin sweet Alan! I'll be up by your neck of the woods tomorrow afternoon, if you're not busy I'd like to swing by and take a look!

Its at the shop till wed.

Ran around at lunch with the cameras mounted to the X. Working out the kinks still. Think we may bypass the in-cab camera mic in lieu of a mic run closer to Alan.
The Panasonic records better for the outside video. I can wrap it black Alan so it's not so ghetto but it's the same one the cop cars use.
Jimmy's been making some custom wires and figuring out format and settings.

We'll test his radios to see how far we can comm with you guys from the pits.

You disguise it, I will run it.

My spare tire strap came today too.

Status Update:

Drive Shafts will be done today. Yay Phx Rack and Axle!
Safety Nets from Mastercraft will be complete today and ship tomorrow. Arrival should be Thursday morning.
Steering box that was shipping to PSC has been rebuilt and is being shipped directly to LetzRoll for Andrew and his team to install.

Andrew and team think they'll be done by Wednesday night. I saw the rig yesterday and wasn't as optimisitc, but I trust 'em. They completed the other two rigs (Andrew's and Shawns) and did a shake down run this past week. From all the report I have, we have some fast race cars, gentlemen. The shocks do great, springs and coil rates are being dialed in, but everything goes fast and handles great. This make me optimistic for my rig since we are all getting basically the same build.

There is a VERY good chance that Thursday night (after about 6 at Geoff's shop) will be an "all hands on deck" wrap up night for the race car, since we leave Friday morning for Tucson. I was hoping to do one Wednesday night and then do a quick shakedown run Thursday night, but that's just not in the cards with everyone's schedules (including mine)... so it looks like pre-running the race course WILL be my shake down run... no stress there, right?

Items to complete include:
Racing camera set up (including mounts and wiring)
Stickers and branding (including door skins and roof)
Catch cans installed
Fire Extenguishers installed
GPS mount
Ball Joint replacement
Final wiring clean up
Racing harness adjustments
Touch up paint on freshly welded areas
Tool storage paint and mounting
Race car double check to make sure everything it tight and full

Stay tuned. Everything is going to come to head this week. First race Saturday, KOH less than 3 weeks away!!!!! In fact, this time 3 weeks from now, we'll all be driving home (and figuring out how to get back for the Friday race since the winner of my class gets automatic admission into the big race... LOL)

Hey Alan,
Paul has my ball joint press. If you need it, I'll see if he'll be done by Thu.

I can help with that too if needed.

Thanks Matt. Geoff has a ball joint press at the shop and I have already purchased the ball joint. We may need hands installing it, though, plus the wiring wrap up.
