I'll second the endorsement on Jake. Not only is he quick but very thorough(and I didn't even get him any Red Bull).

Another busy night in the garage.
Shelby was helping out and she even had time to catch a possum from under the wood pile.

The event has been canceled by the LRP staff, too much snow melting into the runoff areas.

^ Greg has NASA confirmed? Last year there was ice on a section of the uphill on track. They just set up cones and asked us not to go wide there.

I saw the Instagram pic too. I wouldn't depend on some marketing guys comment. Just wait to hear from NASA unless they have emailed already.

Jake and I spent another night in the garage with both motors (old and new) on engine stands.

Jake swapped over all the necessary parts onto the new long block in preparation of installing the new engine.

The excitement is building, but still lots to do. We need to install tranny, exhaust and then button up all the odds and ends.
Then car needs to return to Quantum Raceworks for a tune prior to getting its annual SCCA physical.
If all those things are accomplished prior to Friday at noon then I will head down to Summit Pt, WV for the first
NEDIV race of the series. A lot to hope for but its doable if there are no hitches.

Jake swaps parts, switch, sensors, and wire harness's
