Car is back on the ground. Excited to get the car on the trailer and go down to NJMP next weekend! If you’re around, stop by! Spectators are free. And we’re doing track walks Friday and Saturday evening.
If you’re sitting on false grid just idling I get it. But at speed, if fumes are getting in the car, there’s a bigger issue. I know that if you have a hood exit or bumper exit, you need to have a ventilation system for your helmet.
NJMP prep is almost complete. Finished the exhaust yesterday and picked up my new tires. Went with the Nangkang CRS sized 265/35-18. Excited to try them out. A couple more little odds and ends to finish up before we go racing next week. Looking...
Excellent. The two hardest things were locating the eyelet for the right side lap belt and squeezing the exhaust back in the space. Had to take my 3” oval pipe and stand it up. Definitely going to have to heat wrap it and gold foil or another...
Pretty much the same as me. I chopped into the center tunnel. Got it as low as i could and i got about 10mm gap under the bar. When i redo my cage its going to have the bars run higher more plus my seat rail mounting will then be flush to the...

Been working on moving my seat over so my heads not bumping against the rollcage. Moved the seat over as far as I could. Definitely better as far as head clearance is concerned. 2 weeks till NJMP with EMRA. Which means one month till NJMP with...
So I have got the car to a decent point of being decently driveable and recently i went to a local cars and coffee meet at a porsche garage. Where i found myself on youtube! The chap whos video it was is holding a car show called AdamCfest 2022...
Getting ready for my next events in July. First up is EMRA at NJMP July 9-10. Then we’re back at NJMP July 23rd-24th with Gridlife. Not sure I’m going to make GTA back at NJMP a couple weeks later. It’s just a lot of time away from home. So last...
Palmer update.
Got the car fired up the Tuesday before the event. Transmission made a very loud buddy noise that went away when I stepped on the clutch. Decided to take the trans apart in the car. Discovered a bad bearing on the...
Alright. Been a minute for an update. Just been so busy with things. Got parts from some friends and got the trans reassembled with a Magnus billet 3/4 shift fork. Working on some ideas for the off season already to keep the trans alive. But, for...
