Nice scenic pic from last year. This was the record setting run at Mary Hill.

got a front door mounted. you can see bryant is slaving away rewiring most of the car. last season it was a rats nest (it worked but it wasn't pretty) so OCD in him took over and its all getting redone.

We still need to figure out how we're going to latch it. for the first time trial in utah it might be a bungie cord!


made aluminum hinges because according to Bryant the steel hinges were too heavy

Side shot. Feels good to have these on the car and off of the ground.

Nice for not so much practice. Estimated weight savings/difference? You think they are rigid enough to not bounce around at speed?

Can you show what you've done for wiring? Is that the electrical panel under the dash?

that is a concern and we have a couple of ideas to help with that if needed. hopefully its stable enough once we get the latch figured out.

They're pretty dang light. Once we get the latch and window in they may double in weight!

us too!

we used some foam from homedepot last year in our hood. It helped a ton but the new stuff we are using is much lighter and stiffer. We may drop even more weight off of the next revision.
