Buddy, over time--lots of things should happen--need to happen.  Starting with cleaning up the eng. bay,  being FIRST. It has lots that need addressing exhaust,  hood scoop body junction, the whole area has lots of over laps ect ect. With the turbos we will need traction enhancements, in the form of more down force.

The first thing is a new rear axle and clean this one up and a gear change for El M only. I plan on making the new rear axle much wider and definitely will have some enhancements for it.

The canopy construction is CRUDE but I want to see how this one Works and how it Tuffs before I tackle its replacement.

Lots going on in my life right now. I am going to have to see how some of it plays out before I make many more plans for enhancing & "Racing Ms. Liberty".

Good luck Sparky! Take along a photographer. It's too hard to take pictures and run the operation, including driving, at the same time.  :roll: :roll: :-D

He needs you  :-).  Take a telephoto full side view from some distance so we can work on the car's center of pressure point.  Thanks and also have a great time  :-)

I talked to Sparky earlier in the evening.  They have a couple things that need addressed on the car but believe they can handle them and still get a chance to run the car.  He sounded real good about it  and I'm sure he is excited.  I am and would be,

They got the leg restraint issue taken care of and moved the main elect. shutoff to the extreme rear of the car and were signed off to run up to 150 and are also suppose to deploy both chutes.  They hope to get in at least one run on Sunday.  They say the weather has been great there,
