Front uprights installed.
The front uprights are installed and most everything is bolted up. Next item is cleanup the exhaust headers and install them. After that it's changing the gear ratios to Watkins Glen.

Radiator on the way.
Talked to Eric yesterday and he will be sending my much needed radiator this week. I also asked if he got his tub(chassis) back yet from being completely rebuilt. He said "not yet", but it is suppose to be completed this week. Eric is really going to be pressed to get the car to Watkins Glen.

Shim
Working on the left rear suspension, placed a small shim on the inner A arm pickup point. That should take up the play. The other side will get the same.

Watkins Glen schedule
Just received the Watkins Glen schedule. The F5000 cars are the featured race of the weekend. Also the 2 qualifying races on Saturday will be just F5000 cars. Plus, we have use of the garage's. Just like at the Rahal event last year.
I just hope enough cars show up, the organizers would like 15 F5000 cars. Last year only 11 cars entered . This is a new event plus it's a non-spectator one. I expect low attendance overall.

Lime Rock Park
Every year for almost 30 years Lime Rock race track has had a Labor Day weekend historic race. The track has always been my favorite. A couple of years ago the F5000 drivers group polled it's members and very few wanted to race there.
So I contacted the track to see if my car was eligible. Was told to send in the registration form and hopefully I will be accepted.

Two months to go
Two months until Watkins Glen.
Starting to work on the front suspension and now that the weather is getting a little warmer, it's time to look at the noses. Definitely need two, still like to repair the broken one if possible.
