Lilhemi went 10.9 last night at our 5000 ft elevation track. Things are looking pretty good for the DSM powered RWD Colt.

Uhhh, I guess I can try and take some new ones, but the car has no fenders, doors, or windows in it anymore. Here is an old pic from earlier this year.

Ok, heres a little of what I got. Happy now?

With all the snow around here, I wont be able to get this back to another shop till this spring. My trailer is just a regular one, nothing fancy like an enclosed deal.

Unfortunately, there is a lot left to do. Almost nothing was accomplished last year. It is rather disappointing.
