It's looking great. When do you plan on doing your first race with her? If you run at Barber or Road Atlanta, I may try to make it over there. I've been wanting to run those tracks and seeing your car would be an added bonus.

On the painted BBS centers, you should not have painted the surfaces where the wheel halves mate to the wheel center, and where the lug nut touches the center. You can run into issues later on including cracking the center.

I'm doing the NASA event at Roebling in May for sure. Gotta stay close with the new baby on the way. Let me know if you can make it.

Thanks CJ! You can imagine how excited I am. The X51 has one weekend on it. It's practically brand new. I may have it this weekend with the 3.6 in it for testing/playing at Roebling.

Thanks Mark! Why don't shoot down to roebling this weekend. Friday is autometrics day and florida crown is here for the weekend. A good chance my car will be ready to run, but without engine and exhaust mods.

Enjoy your 996 Rog. The guys at Autometrics built mine (see avatar) and I absolutely loved it prior to selling her and moving on. They did a fantastic job and had the set-up close to nailed on day one. Enjoy.

No can do this weekend. Had hoped to come down for the darkside in May, but probably won't make the trip until the December club race.

I guess you won't make the Barber Club race in June either, with the baby due. I guess we will have to catch up at VIR or Daytona for sure.

Hey Roger!

Nice car!

I see you'll be at RR with NASA in May, are you going to be racing then or breaking the car in in DE's?

See you then!

That's a nice diet you put that thing on!

Looks great. Look forward to finished product.

Yup, very pleased with my choice. Never heard one negative thing about autometrics and now I know why.

Ok Mark. But let me know if you do break away before then.
