There is a 1/4 mile strip on Maui... the track here might be open by the Spring - so then we can do head to head and time trials....

We still have some fiberglass and fitment to do... there is a lot more fabrication that we had hoped for.

BTW - we are converting the interior to black; so the door panels, trim etc; are slowly getting swapped out in place of new Black ones.

Should have made the body out of 100% carbon fiber.. Imagine how light it would be :P

Looks amazing though, I can't wait to see the end result. Best of luck! (not that you need it)

HAHA CF - that might have blown our budget.

I am actually really happy with the weight of the fiberglass pieces it has - not too shabby.

Eh........ what happened was - we made a lot of torque.... a LOT.

So mcuh that we cracked the frame rail on the passenger side while doing a few um... traction tests.

Soooooo - it is going to be a bit more time until it is ready. We found a shop that can repair it and weld in some tubular supports.

It did shake all the walls in the shop though.... evil motor.
