Gary,
The firehawk decals are the same as the ones on your new ride. I'll throw them in the satchel next time I see you.

I won't be at NJ. Next race for me is Hyperfest at Summit Point 6/20-21.

Good luck with the new car.

Sounds good.
Have fun at Hyperfest Steve.
I'll see you at the VIR race in July.

Sorry to see your 968 is gone Gary. You were mighty quick in that car. I'm sure you will develop the new S2 as well. Looking forward to seeing it at a NASA race in the future. I'll likely be at Lime Rock in August. Looks like I'll miss you at Hyperfest. I'm going in the RX-7.

What about VIR again in July? How about Trevor? Maybe a rookie school group reunion

I will .

Plus I will keep the tyre's at 38 to 40psi max hot and not a lb more.
My buddies at Precision installed a DO NOT BEND sign on the window net

After the lighning race the car is going to be decaled to replicate the way it ran in the Canadian Firehawk Series. Hence my new number, #45

BTW, after removing the carpet we found that the cage mount had started to push through where it was mounted and one of the welds was cracked.
The dash bar was all that keep the A-pillar from collapsing onto me. Both A-pillars were leaning to the right.
I added more bars to the firehawk cage as well as I now have a halo seat which we are installing this weekend.

Glad to see you are doing so well, you were still recovering from some soreness when we talked at the Glen. Way to get back on the horse again. Is this Bob Munro's car out of Toronto?

Does your vinyl shop have a template of the large Firehawk decal that is currently on your car? I have been searching for a pair to add to mine with no luck yet as of yet.

Yeap this is Bob's car, I'm really looking forward to the 1st drive on Wednesday at the Glen.
I think Precision know's where to get the Firehawk decals. I'll ask them when I pick the car up on Tuesday.

Don't forget to ask me for rookie stickers on Wednesday morning Gary!

Delighted you're breaking in your "virgin" at our event.

Remember to check with David on your pressures.

Good luck with the S2, it came up for sale after I had bought my 968 and it looked like a great car, lots of spares too. Let me know about the decals.

If you could get me a high res picture of the logo, I could recreate it for you in vinyl (two layers, red and white).
