3 weeks to go

Hard to believe only 3 weeks before we leave to our first event. Found a fuel dealer about a hour from the house. Picked up 15 gallons of race fuel at $7.50 per gallon. And I thought aviation fuel was expensive.

Did a little more paint on the helmet and working on some odd and ends.

In order to get even paint lines I use a surface plate(a very flat piece of granite) and a height indicator. I tape a pencil to the height indicator and scribe a line around the helmet.

Then use very narrow painters tape to follow my pencil line. Works real nice.
