I'd be very tempted to wire up some brake lights, call my insurance agent, go to DMV (or whatever) a 30-day temp registration, and extensively road test it.  8-)

Here is a longer engine run. I think that last blip hit the rev limiter.

Steve Anderson pointed out that I needed cockpit ventilation so I added a small NACA submerged inlet duct to get some fresh air in under aerodynamic pressure. It is a molded duct from Pegasus Racing.

Never cheap, but I've also never encountered and "out of stock" situation with Pegasus.

The show room is as neat as a pin, they're open until 1:00 on Saturdays, and the staff is on a par with Stroud Safety and Smiths Pushrods.

And they have really hip salt and pepper shakers . . .

Neil- with the obvious quality of the work we have all been enjoying, there will be no "things go wrong".. Looking forward to seeing the car in a few weeks.  :cheers:
