Ok, well now it is getting very close to the 1st round of the 2008 - 2009 Grand Bayou Race Series. We finished putting in the rest of the roll cage over the weekend and have a few shots of it below. Car is still filthy from doing all the work so dont look at the dirtiness there.

This week will be all about fresh Red Line 40wt race oil, water wetter, checking all lines etc. etc. Just making sure everything is proper working order for this weekend. New brakes. We leave Friday morning for Louisiana. For a full list of everything we did to the car in the off-season, check out my blog HERE Off to the pics....

Sure is Andy. Round #1 of 7 this year. They have added another round this year to include a charity race that will double as the final round of the series. Still some things left to do on the car. I still need to go through it more and nut & bolt it. Got the brakes changed last night, oil changed, coolant changed and made sure the battery in the rear was good to go with the new box I had to get as the old one broke at Road Atlanta.

Everything seems to be in good working order. Have not driven it (besides beding the brakes) since Atlanta. So the car should be fine to go. But we will find out on Saturday morning at practice. I'll try and post some news up during the day on Saturday to let everyone know whats going on. Trying to dial in the AFC a little more as well, so we'll be playing around with that on Saturday most of the day. Maybe also try some different rates on the suspension package and head into Sunday to see how the new engine is going to stack up this season. I know allot of other guys have had all off-season to upgarde as well. So this year should be even more fun than last year. I can hardly wait man !!!

No, you didnt miss anything. Just going to play wiuth the settings on the KYB's to see if we can come up with anything better. If not, no harm no foul you know? Just looking to try and imrpove from where we are with what we have is all.

I got some spacers from a circle track racer friend of mine that we are also going to try and see how the perform as well. Very similar to what NASCAR uses in their springs to limit travel etc. Should be interesting to see how they will work on my car.
