November Update

As promised a November update.

I think my big find was on ebay a couple of weeks ago. You know how I go on and on about not having enough gear sets, or just the wrong ones. We'll I purchased a gear set for a very reasonable price, and the best part is it's 2nd gear. This is the ratio I needed, the one that I have now is unusable at any track I go to. So instead of only being able to use 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I will now have 2nd. This will be a big help coming out of some of the slower corners.


As far as getting the radiator repaired, I've showed it to a couple of shops and have gotten the thumbs down. It would be far less expensive to have a new one made. So for now, I'll keep looking for a used one.

Should have the paint this week. The only thing is I have to do all my bodywork outside, no spray booth. So this repair and repaint won't happen until next spring when it's warm. But now I won't have to worry about getting the paint colors I need.

Race schedule.
Still no word on next years F5000 race events. Should hear this month.

I'll continue to search for parts and expecting to be back working on the car in January.
