Champion - originally posted 12/14/05
I ran the final event on Sept 28, on a rain wet course. I had the rain tires on, but as I just needed to get points for the championship, I only made one run and put the car back on the trailer. So I'll get my championship award at the Coneheads banquet.
Right now the car is in the garage, up on blocks and partially disassembled for between-season maintenance. All I have left to buy are some bolts and o-rings and I'll get it finished up in time for Annual Tech for road racing in Feb. Allt eh stickers except for number and class are coming off, some touch-ups to the paint and a good wax job then new stickers. I have enough wheel halves for 3 7/8 sets (missing one wheel half) so i'll have two sets of slicks and one set of rains mounted. The fire system is ready to install and I haven't found any cracks in the chassis.
I ordered a driving suit, helmet and harness from
Security Race. I've been a customer of theirs for several years; they make the
Impala harnesses that I sell. When I go down for final fitting, I'll order underwear, balaclava, socks and gloves. Then I'll be set for required safety equipment.
I'm scheduled for my SCCA driver school with
Proformance on March 13-14. I'll post my predicted race schedule here when I decide; but the basic plan is to run the NW Region series and Rose Cup in Portland.
