Building a car for the mile

[Johntsi]

Its the same in your truck and my car .

Well its almost mechanically done, fuel system is plumbed, boost controller installed, vac lines done. Have to remove some things to install the scattershield and install the harness after its completed tonight, but then just safety equipment.

Took a few pics with the blackberry, will get real ones next week when the rest of this is completed.

Chute is on, sorry for some more crappy blackberry pictures.  Almost time to dust the car off (wash it).  Its getting really close now but I won't wash it until it moves under its own power.

Chute is on.

Good looking mounting John ...

[Johntsi]

Thanks guys, punch list is there. 

Sadly I was just informed close friend is having his wedding that weekend and am put in a tough possition as to if I can make the Hotrod event or not because of this now. He only gets married once, I can break records the rest of the year.  Perhaps I will leave for the wedding and then come back to race.

What's this "He only gets married once" stuff?  These days it's pretty common for the average person to get married twice, if not more.  So - analyze the situation, try to decide if he's found a real keeper, THEN decide whether the wedding or the Hot Rod event is more important.

See you at the track. .

John, I see your point and SSS's

Tough choice,,, I would Tech the Car on Friday,,, dash off to the Wedding and then come back to make a few runs on Sat if possible, but at least make it back to run on Sunday.

Hope to see you at some point in April....
