charlie you better chose another # 5 is mine!!!

 

Ron, no worries, I'm signing up as #13, the number the car ran in the '92 German Carrera Cup and '93 Supercup. Tom Schmitz just put the #5 on there for when he took pictures of the car for me. I figured putting some numbers on it would help convince the EPA/DOT that it was a true race car. It is another good example of Tom's support in the sales process...

As for weight, it tipped the scales at 2595# at Lime Rock with 1/4 tank. According to my calcs, I should have it running at or near 2500# in race trim (remove 2nd seat, etc)...

 

Sweet car Charlie---looking forward to seeing it at the Glen in a few weeks.

Looks great Charlie. I can't wait to see how it runs. Then again, I can't wait to see how mine runs either. I'll be shaking mine down at Pocono, so I guess that I won't get a chance to see it until the Glen race. Will you have all the graphics on it by then?

 

The timing of the graphics is fully in John Colasante's hands. He is working on his motor now and I suspect trying to get it complete for the Glen race. As such, I'm not sure how much time he'll have to work on graphics for me. I'm hopeful I can squeeze out some of the "standard" graphics (e.g., Pirelly, Mathey, etc) from him prior to the Glen race, but we shall see!

At some point I need to have the mirrors painted red, too. At the very least, I hope to have the car fully liveried-up before the Mosport race in late July.
