I've set a goal to run the Ohio mile this year. I thought it might take the guy/gals at the ECTA till 2013 to hammer out the details to run at Wilmington, but they did it in record time. Great job to all.
Unfortunately that puts the time crunch on to finish getting my bucket back together. Thought I had the car sorted out last spring and then it all went bad. A failed turbo, that was replaced with a larger one that required some retuning. Then stupidity on my part caused the engine to eat itself when a cam came apart. So there I sat at the end of fall 2011 with a busted engine, a broken transmission case, a tune that isn't even close yet and then they announce the Ohio mile is on for 2012! AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
Been making progress, but still lots to do. Machine work on the engine is mostly done, still need a rocker system. Tranny is repaired, just need a new converter that will fit in a JW Ultrbell. Hopefully all the safety stuff makes it here in time for install (thanks Joe). Have several things to finish or change on the car. Waiting on the latest rulebook for review and see what needs changed.
Feels like April is staring me down with a double barrel shotgun already. Registered this morning so have to make it now.
Here is how the junk sits now
