Thanks to the Fabricators

I want to thank the people that helped on this project:

Andy Macvicar, fabricator 1st class with extensive NASCAR background did the main chassis welding and metal

Chris Hedge, great craftsman, welder, mechanic, and builder, finished the project with expertise in all trades

Terry Lowder on body work and fiberglass fabrication. With finish body work and paint by Jimmy Brummit.

William Mitchel suspension design software, with some imput from Mark Ortiz.

A race car is a system: mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, thermodynamic, aerodynamic, structural, ergonometric, aesthetic, software, dynamics, and rules. I have had the experience of a slight mastery of race car design and fabrication.

So far the car has performed better than expected right out of the box. Track time will tell if the design is right.
