thanks guys! the 1240 run was very emotional for me. Alot on the line. and as promised i would share everything i know. As i continue to push it further ill share that as well. Very fortunate to be in this position with my passion. Not trying to waste the opportunity and definitely being a man of my word and sharing everyhing as i come across it. even if it takes blowing a couple engines haha

New shoes for the beast (answered my question of "will it rub" pretty fast):
I'm looking forward to whatever aero solutions are implemented to manage the speed.

I just signed another large batch of them. I seriously underestimated how much time it takes to sign shirts. That was my major fuckup. almost all the single shirt orders are out as of today. international orders are next. Yeah the Patreon guys are saints. Life didnt shake out how i expected it. But Im a man of my word. I need the car to be safe for my passenger before i take a patreon member in it. Youll see why in 2 videos. Someone would have lost a leg.
Im stuck learning how to do everything myself and that slows things down tremendously getting the car done. I want to get the body bondoed and scanned so i can make the miniature versions for the patreon guys.

Thanks guys! I cant describe how intense it was piloting a car thats built by an amateur mechanic, tuner, and fabricator. so many thoughts crossing my mind and i had the few runs you saw to shake it down. So much to improve on and it turned out better than i expected. Who could really expect it to go from never tested to giving the hoonicorn a run for the money in 4 runs. funny thing is my fuel was so rich past 3rd gear it couldnt even register on the o2 sensor. so much to cleanup and standardize. but thats what i love to do haha

yea the hoonicorn was having issues too but I'm pretty sure we'd all love to see a rematch when both cars are at 100%
And youve have the car really dialed and more time behind the wheel of the 4 rotor.
Congrats!
Also sorry not sorry the hood flying off was a highlight moment. Flew off like it was maid of foil. And windshield didnt crack
