Sitting ready for its first race this weekend! Been a long journey to get to this point. Not quite done (am I ever?!), but time to go have some fun. Racing with CVAR at Texas World Speedway this weekend!

Fantastic! I enjoyed reading your build log. Hopefully the shake down will not take too long.

Sitting in line at the gate. Actually only have the 7 in the trailer as the plan was to have racerchic drive the ?lan to the track only it wouldn't start for me today- battery dead in the cold weather. So after unloading have to go home and get him running.
