Back to Business

It's now the middle of June and it's time to get back to work from a short sabbatical with the blog. The Chihuahua race has passed and the boys had a decent finish considering the car had almost zero testing. There were a couple mechanical problems, but nothing that wasn't solved, or at least subdued. The biggest problem was lack of horse power, due to the stock cylinder head that had to be used, as the racing head had been sent wrong. That problem has been resolved
and these beauties should be putting out somewhere between 185 to 200 HP for the La Carrera.



As you can see in these pictures, the second 2002 has been painted and is progressing through the building stage. The brakes, brake lines, suspension, fuel tank and lines are in. All the other main components, except the engine, are ready to be installed. The car should be ready for some road tests within a couple of weeks.

One of the more exciting things to have happened this summer is have a film crew sniffing around, talking about doing a piece for the History Channel. Here's a picture of Rick getting interviewed our man Jeremy. If their funding comes through, there could be some interesting camera angles from the cockpit,... everybody wave to the helicopter.

At this point, there is some question as to if both cars are going on the make the trip to Huatulco. The car that went to Chihuahua is in the "definite maybe" state, and a decision will have to be made soon so plans can be made.
There are 121 days till the start of the race, and about 112 until we leave....it's time to get busy!
