This video includes some gratuitous engine revving.
Not much new to report. Going through the new paperwork received from SCORE for the Baja 1000. Looks like we’ll be meeting Tuesday at Richard’s to erect the beams for what will eventually be the official Desert Dingo Racing race shop (and Richard’s metal shop).
This video is of 1107 driving out of Palais des congres du Montreal, down the street, around the corner and into the loading dock.
Sure the other classes have more horsepower, but we dominate when it comes to cool graphics.
JR with STS Graphics has declared the SNORE 250 as the Stock Bug Challenge Cup II and has pulled together a couple grand worth of cash and prizes specifically for the Stock Bug class. The teams also chip in money for a class cash prize. Already 10 cars signed up for the race. Should be a fun one.
BFGoodrich has a team – Nation of Go – traveling the country meeting up with racers, tuners and car fans in general. I came across them on Twitter and invited them down to Felton and they accepted. We’ll probably both be live-twittering the get together.
One of the things we’ll be doing tomorrow is painting 1107 and possibly 1117. Both are sanded and ready to go. Richard’s coming by tomorrow and we’ll towbar them back to Creech’s and Shawn will paint them there.
This is the last photo of the unpainted cars, I swear!
Last photo of the old decals before being stripped off for painting.
We’ve got a really tight schedule between the SNORE 250 Oct. 2-4 and shipping the car to Montreal for the World Diabetes Congress Oct. 18-22 and then heading south for the Baja 1000 the second week in November. As a result, we’re giving the car its annual paint job now, touching it up and adding decals before shipping to Montreal.
I got the decals stripped today and sanded down most of the body. Shawn’s coming by tomorrow to do more bondo and paint prep and at some point before the 250 we’ll do final painting.
Got a cool announcement planned for Monday.
Stripped for body work. 1117 is in back.
