The nose of the car is fully ready for battle thanks to Bernard at servo ppf! Many of the vinyl stickers on the car these days have been made by him.
I decided to try putting an Epic Score logo on the nose. Let's see how long it survives up there. I'm betting it will see some serious punishment. We'll see.
Anyway, the vinyl numbers on the front were the last thing needed for the NASA TT this weekend.
I don't remember if I ever mentioned this, but when my car was pulled away from the tire wall at VIR, they hooked on to the rear cheap garbage eBay tow hook I had back there. Annnnnd it snapped as they were pulling the car. There was some surprised yelling, but everyone was fine. Ah yes, one more embarrassing thing to heap on all the other fantastic stuff that day. So, I committed to a Rennline steel tow hook this time for the rear. And I have a new stock hook on the front. The Rennline tow hook is quite sexy, but my only comment is that it doesn't engage many threads....not sure what's going on there. I bought the one that said it was for the E90 M3 rear bumper.....Anyway, I hope I never need it.
As far as the event this weekend----not really sure what to expect. There may be a bit of rain on Saturday, but Sunday looks fine. However, there's almost 35 cars signed up, and I'm guessing we will get slammed into one run group. So....that's not super ideal. I've mounted some old Hoosier A7's, so I can properly run in TT1. There's only one other competitor signed up in TT1---a Corvette that's 350 lbs lighter than me, but it doesn't seem to have the full power that the 6:1 ratio would allow. I don't know.....will be interesting. I'll have to get my act together to put down some decent laps [on old tires]. Right now, for some reason, I'm braking early. Gotta get over that.
Anyway, I'm not really worried about the competition. I just like to do my homework on other cars. It's just part of my process to motivate myself. Ultimately, I'm participating in the event to get myself back up to speed.
