That cage is hidden really well. Driveshaft is pretty epic too.

The cage is all done with the exception of putting in the window net and harness. Ran out of time Friday night.

I drove the car down to Ohio for the IDRC, it was a great drive. Car got 20.5mpg . I took it to Buschur's on Saturday then Cedar point afterwards. I think I put close to 400 miles on the car. I wish we could have tested the car prior to the event but had no time.

The car popped out the same freeze plug again Saturday night when tuning it a bit more. We replaced it and it held good then, hoping it would stay in to race... Well it did not and came out after a launch at the track. Same one Joey popped out as well which is crazy. Thank you Boostin Performance for the freeze plug so I could get home And thank you Wheatley for the fuel as the pump was broken at the only E85 station in Norwalk.

We inspected the hole the freeze plug popped out of, looks like its scored pretty bad (seem's like the machine shop may have messed it up). We will be taking care of these issues shortly whether the head is lifting or not and be testing the car at the local track soon

Car looked good this weekend Scott! Those plugs ruin everything and are dangerous at the same time. Better that it popped prior to the event instead on the track. I'm sure you will get it sorted out soon!

That last pic is so awesome! Was that a burnout through the waterbox or just a launch? Mine were doing that on the launch the track wasent prepped well.

Thanks Jason! It should be back out soon! Yeah, that was a burn out to get help get these new slicks broken in after rolling through the water box.

Yours was killing it this weekend

Car looked good in person, didn't really get to see the car make any hits unfortunately I was pretty busy helping Wheatley out.
