For this class of racing (SCCA T2) you are not allowed to too heavily modify the car. In fact the cars will look very close to stock with the exception of wheels suspension and saftey equipment. So to answer your question the door will remain operational.

Website updated
The cars are progressing well. I have updated the website with new pictures. www.casualracing.com
I will be picking the first car up this afternoon and the second car will be going in for its cage at the end of the week.
As far as engine modifications we are limited to engine management and exhaust. Other then that the engine must remain stock.
Thanks, Alex

NY race
The New York race is in Western New York, just north of Elmira. It is about 5 hours from NYC. Lime Rock is in North Western CT right on the New York border. This is about 2 hours from NYC. Hope to see you at the races.

Updates
Everything is moving along well, the first car is very close to completion. We are still waiting on the shock, but hopefully next week. After that all that is left is the alignment and the exhaust system.
Berg racing is close to completing the cage in the second car and we will be working hard to get that car ready for testing on April 18th.
I will have website updates after the weekend.

Race Update
It has been awhile since the last update, but things have been busy. Both cars are now complete and have run their first race last weekend and NHIS. Results were promising. The cars qualified 3rd and 4th, and ended up finishing 3rd and a DNF do to a blown clutch. Check out our website for the full story, some pictures from the race and the last of the construction photos. http://www.casualracing.com Come check us out at our next race June 5th at Lime Rock Park.

Alex,
I thought that you guys did an amazing job considering that it was the first time you have had the cars out on the track. Keep up the good work!
