This is the bottom of the wheel pant.
Foamed and capped. Still has peel ply on it.

One of the new era teams. There is a lot to study in their design and construct methods.

It will be fun to see them. They have a lot to be proud of.

Bad news. As of 3am this morning, we pulled the plug on Speedweek 2013.
The list of little stuff to do was just a bit larger than we could finish without making unhealthy compromises.
Good news. World of Speed is just under 4 weeks away.
Most of the team will still be attending Speedweek as some tickets were not changeable and we will be able to devote full attention to the 3838 Corvette which is not such a bad thing to settle for. :-)
After three years if building, we are missing Speedweek by about a week.
This was actually more like a five year project that we crammed into a three year time frame so I do not really feel too bad about it.

Nooooooo! Looks like I'm going to WOS as well, good call on your part Rob. Better to be 100% than to make a 30+ hour drive and not be ready.
I'll find the vette and come say "hi"

LOVE the color! Too bad the car won't be at Speedweek. I guess I'll just have to wait until next year to see it in all of its glory. Hopefully things progress smoothly without as much pressure. Keep up the great work guys!

As Basher said, good call on your part Rob.
Looks like I'm in luck as WoS is my only Bonneville event this year.
Can't wait to see this car up close and then go down the track.....very FAST! 
I'll stop in and say "Hi".

I've never been to a WOS event but I here many good things about it.
Most of my crew was able reschedule vacation time and a couple may be going to both events.
