During the week of March 19th, my wife and I are going to fly back into Dallas to pick up the car and then road trip it back to Jacksonville via New Orleans and the Florida panhandle. Hopefully all will go well and we'll make it back to Jacksonville in one piece. We've got the digital camera warmed up so we're ready to go. Should be an adventure.
So, if all goes well, I'll be at DGRR.

Awesome David!
If you do come up to DGRR, I would like to do a feature shoot of your car on the event DVD. I'm going to do 4-5 feature cars (1st gen, 2nd gen, old school, 3rd gen, etc) and send it to this lady I know at Mazda.. I'm shooting for Mazda sponsorship for next years event...

The project was supposed to take 6 months but has taken over 2 1/2 years. The short of it is Pettit couldn't properly tune the car, Wolf EMS USA totally screwed me, and not Gotham Racing has fixed all the issues and completed the work.
Tomorrow I get to see the car for the first time in over 1 1/2 years.

Today I'm actually starting to get excited about going on the trip. Should fun getting to meet the Gotham guys in person and actually seeing the car.

Seriously, it's pretty much sucked. I've become the brunt of my family's (especially the in-law side) jokes. "Hey, how's the car coming? Haha!!" Even my wife's gotten into it.... grrr

Now they all are scared to ride in it because it's 'too fast'
Remember and make fun of those comments later when you scare the pants off them. (preferrably on the track)

Update:
The car lives...almost. Bunch of parts showed up today and Gotham is busy installing them on the car. The best are the PLX devices. Should look great.
Am taking pics and will post more later. Car should be started soon...
