When is the time you will have a 2 day event? I wanna come up for maximum running!!

 

There are usually 3 - 4 two day events per year.

The earliest one is usually our first race of the year (early May).

The best one is July 3rd/4th at Grand Valley State University. Great big smooth lot, blistering heat, minimal shade. What more could you ask for?

Plus, there are usually two events at Michigan State University (each one a two day event). The lots are small, but we usually get a great course by combining a couple of them. I can't recall when the first one is usually held, but the second one was mid August this year. These are both very good events.

www.furrin.org will give you most of the race schedule for the year, but dates for next year probably won't go up until Spring when they can be confirmed.

 

GVSU? Cool... where do you guys hold it? I could hang out at my daughter's townhouse for that one. Sweet.

 

We hold it right on the campus, using one of their biggest lots. Check out my videos, I posted some of this year's race that was shot externally to show the size we have to work with, and some internal to give you an idea of the course we used (and will probably re-use next year). It was like 90 seconds of freeway onramps! Awesome!

SWEET! Just was on campus 2 weeks ago while working in Muskegon....

 

Update: Here she is as she sits today. All ready (nearly) for her trip to Atlanta on Wednesday.

 

Looking god! I'll be sure to look for you at the Mitty!

 

Very nice. Glad it's back together and you can enjoy it again.

Edit: Hey, need a lower valence? I've got an extra of the vented variety.

 

Nice recovery! Wish I had the time and patience to drive mine to ATL. Have a great time!

 

Your car looks great man. Glad you got it all dialed in and ready to go.

 

Aside from the missing pinstripe on the fenders, I can't even tell anything happened. Good stuff.

 

glad to see you were able to get her back together

Very nice work indeed! We're looking forward to meeting car and driver down at the Mitty.

Happy Trails, have a safe trip down to Atlanta and.....Watch Out for Drunk Drivers!

 

Thanks man, but I'm all set. I have one, it's just all covered with undercoating (why undercoat a plastic part???) and I don't want to install it until it is made perfect. Or, I may decide to go with an air damn instead if I can gather the funds and find one I really like.

Will your car be ready for any races this year?

 

Thanks Ray! I can barely sleep anymore due to the building excitement.

My shoulders are KILLING ME! after all that wax on/wax off BS yesterday.
A couple ours with rubbing compound, a couple more with cleaner wax,
another couple with the polish, and then a final wax.
And that was just the hood and tops of the front fenders!
I have so much more to do. lol. But it makes such a difference...

Then I have to add a touch of toe in on the passenger side wheel
(I think the Bravado may have adjusted it slightly for me). A
nd I need to hardwire my radar detector, etc, etc. Gonna be a busy day....

 

The waxing is what made them fenders and the hood look that good? They the same ones from me?

 

lol, same ones! They clean up pretty nice. Other than a few chips and deep scratches, everything is very shiney.

Thanks again for all of your help man!

 

No problem man. The fb looks good.

I tried waxing my fc and it had swirls everywhere. lol

 

Yeah I want to know about where you got that paint Kent.

 

I wish. Every to-do that you can think of seems to have reared it's head this past winter and into this spring. Biggest one was that we lost about 40% of my automotive plant, in Howell, to a fire several weeks ago and it's been all-consuming getting things back on track.

I was commenting to my wife that I was bummed about my lack of progress after seeing yours and she said that you must not have a job or kids. I told her you had both.

I'll be happy to complete the body work and get it painted this summer. After that, re-assembly will be a breeze.

 

I'd offer to let you come over and race my car, but it looks like I've already got two protege's this year. Three drivers per event is already kinda pushing things.

 

If you're coming to MSU in August, maybe I'll catch up with you there. I'm right down the road.

Or perhaps I'll head out to Grattan at some point this season. Been wondering how the Odyssey would handle a road course...

 

lol. One of the local hotshot drivers will bring out his wife's minivan with the Hoosiers on it for H-Stock. He usually places mid-pack, believe it or not.

Since MSU is an out of town event, there is a good chance that one of my "students" will not be able to attend. If that is the case, you'll be welcome to race my car at that event... Bring your son along and he can ride shotgun with you on your runs.

 

If I can make it out to MSU my car will be available if you want, but we'll be running in Street Mod not CSP.

 

as per usual, i'm late to the party. let me extend my condolences for your ordeal. however, i'm glad to see you (and Red ) back up and running. you almost made it look easy. my car (appears to have) sustained much less damage than yours and it's been sitting now for damn near 4 years.

you mentioned taking it to Atlanta. make sure to report how it behaves on the trip. it must feel good to both of you, to be back on the open road.
