Had to make a new red ‘r’ and find the correct shade of red. Did my best, hope it passes the Rik test.
The white trim ring will really set it off.

96 Shifter Wiring
July 5th, 2013 · RaceCar
Just a couple notes about re-wiring the 96 floor shifter to work with aftermarket shifters.
Yellow and Purple are the Neutral Safety Switch.
Orange/Black and Black/White control the Trunk Release
Pink and Green control the Backup Lights.
The Neutral Safety Switch on the Cheeta Shifter is properly wired. This prevents accidentally trying to start the car when it is in gear. For now the Trunk Release works. When I get a round to it I’ll rewire into the Neutral Safety Switch to prevent accidentally opening the trunk at 108 MPH.
That leaves me to contemplate the Backup Lights. The shifter doesn’t have a reverse switch, so I’ll have to fab something up this fall.

Lost trip
June 14th, 2013 · RaceCar
Due to the significant amount of rain this week, we are going to be closed this weekend. We are not confident enough with the safety aspect, and don’t want to waste our racers money and time to battle water seepage. We are working on a resolution at this time to eliminate this issue for the future. We hope you understand and stick by us as we work to make this the best track we can. Thank You
Sadly, we received this information a few minutes before we arrived at our hotel. The weather on Friday and Saturday was perfect, but the track was water logged. So the race car sits all dressed up an no place to GO!!
Water seepage is no joke. It only gets worse as the track warms up and the water boils to the surface.

Drilling holes in my workbench.
June 3rd, 2013 · General
Matt surprised me tonight with a gift. He picked up this vise a few months ago. It was rusted and seized up. He stripped it and restored it. When he asked if he could us my garage tonight, I didn’t think anything of it. When he finished assembling the vise and told me it was for me I was blown away.
On several occasions I’ve told Matt that I didn’t want to drill any holes into the laminate top of my workbench. After receiving this gift, drilling a holes just wasn’t that big a deal.
Thanks Matt!

A new beginning

Picked up a 96 Caprice today and started modding it before it left the driveway. Left the 9c1 wheels behind and drove home on some Impala wheels and Kohmo rubber.
