We are planning on being at world of speed with the liner. We have a number for the car.  What do we need to do for a chassis sticker and a log book? Will we be able to pick one up at WOS or is there something else we need to do?

Should be able to pick up a log book---be sure to take some small quartering shots of the car some without skin for the 4 required log book "Poloroid type" to mount in the inside frt. of the log booK!!

Thanks Sparky, we kind of figured it wouldn't be a big deal. With everything else we had going on this little detail was pushed to the bottom of the list.

I have experienced some of that myself with the WW.

So Rob and I aren't really sure what to do with ourselves tonight. We have found ourselves in an odd position of having a clean whiteboard. For the first time in a LONG time, we aren't working on the car. We buttoned it up late this morning and were packing the tools and parts when we got word that WoS was cancelled.

Determined to do something with a freshly built car that has been sitting in the stable without seeing the light of day, we decided to take it for a drive and see how it handled riding on the trailer.

While we were out and about we stopped by the Butler County airport to see if we could get some pictures. The car looks BEATUIFUL in the sun, way better than under the shop's fluorescent lights. Here are some shots we snapped. Really bummed we aren't passing through Chicago right now. Hopefully World Finals has some good weather...

In the mean time, the trailer loading, unloading and customizations we made all worked well. The car traveled very happily without any incident. Now that we have a little more time, we'll take the opportunity to sweeten up a few items and make some mods we were putting off because we didn't have time to get to them.

You are right.  The car certainly looks more spectacular in
natural sunlight than it did sitting in the shop.  Congratulations
for making your deadline.  The cancellation disappointment will be forgotten
as you are sitting on the starting line for the first time.

Regards,
Dave Gray
