I'm not 100% sure, although I believe that the schedule may expand for additional events for the 2011 season from what is above.

Mine really won't even take that much to finish, since it was an ex-PCA stock class racer in it's previous life, it's just all the customer paying cars that keep getting pushed ahead of my personal car.
Build Party - schedule it, and it will get done!

Glad to see that. Looks like you may have had to wait a year, but 944 spec followed you.

I'm in with my new Silver Bullet arriving this weekend!
Would be great to have you race with us, Viking! Git 'er done! I didn't know you had a 944 and it would be awesome to see you ON track (vs. AT track).
From what we've been told the 1st half of 2011 race schedule will not change, it's the 2nd half which could change or grow.

Sounds like a solid 5+ cars for our first event and I already have 2 people on the fence about selling their street car toys to come race 944 Spec in Texas! With a good first weekend out showing, they'll be hooked.

See you on the podium!!!

Are you sure about that ? Getting beat by an old has been wore out mechanic might be embarassing.

Tell us about your car, any pictures to show ?

I was at Chuck's house yesterday and saw the completed "silver bullet". I remember that car back in its "donor" days. Now the car looks gorgeous and I cant believe that Chuck got it down to 2300 lbs!
That's going to be one quick and pretty car! It has the best looking set of cookie cutters I've ever seen and a very nice dash setup.

I can't believe Chuck is letting that car go! Todd is getting a great car, though I wouldn't think the Shiner Bock police would allow a car called the 'Silver Bullet' to enter the state!

LOL...yeah, had Chuck sold me a brown & yellow car it would have been the Shiner Bock Bullet!! I haven't scaled it yet, but I think it's closer to 2200 lbs now, (dare I say) he went too far. I'm not a big fan of the Lexan windshield or the sheetmetal sunroof cover. Just like those special order pretty wheels, I MAY have to go back to a nicer windshield & cleaner factory sunroof panel at the cost of some weight. We'll see...

Viking...we'll be dyno'ing January 22nd. Dust off the old girl and bring her out! See you there!

PS- No pics until she's "done".

Mine still has an old cage in it that will need to be modified for current rules or removed and rebuilt for a new and improved cage. It was my old PCA stock class racer which met a whole different rule set. With the other customers cars I have to get ready still for the January event it won't make MSRH , but I will get it out there this year, probably for TWS and or maybe the PCA club race also.
You know these 44's aren't like the American Iron, you have to drive these cars. Can't wait to bump some bumpers.

Ready to rock & roll in Texas! The series is already approaching 10 candidates in Texas. Right now, half (only 5) are planned to be at Round 1....but that's enough to be in the Toyo Bucks!







...and the view most of you will see.

Nice Job!

I am really happy to see Texas finally get off the ground.
