Looking at the progress on Monday I’m on the fence as to if we will make it to Maine on time with a car that’s been sorted/tested. There are so many custom “one off” parts in this build that engineering and designing everything to work together is tough. We do expect to start it soon, then if everything is good, no leaks or other issues it’s onto the dyno for the tuning. Even after we are satisfied with the numbers there is a lot of work still to do. All the body panels have to be put back on, aero parts installed, every nut/bolt has to be tightened/checked and so much more. I won’t drive it in Maine unless I have had some seat time in the car. This build is so different than the one I did 252 in that I need time to know how it feels and reacts. We basically have a month and a few days at most to reach that fully assembled and ready to roll if we are going to make Loring Maine, otherwise I will find another option somewhere. I have looked at the ECTA event in Arkansas in early October as a back up but max distance is 2 km or about 1.24 miles, I was hoping for a 1.5 mile run but maybe we go to Arkansas as a test/tune session until I can find a longer runway.
