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

I still have it. Havent touched it yet. I'm not really looking forward to messing with it, so its on the back burner. I'm really just trying to stay focused on the RX3.

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.
