Jorge:
We had a problem on the shake down pass so we will be back in July. Stop by.
While I have threatened to write a book about my experience (ordeal?) during this build, another chapter would have to include my first SCTA meet with this new roadster. Saturday INSPECTION - 2 hours!The inspectors really only had one issue with the car itself. The panel that prevents your feet or legs inside the car in case of rollover, I put that panel on the outside of the frame, and they wanted it on the inside. And I had no panel above my feet. No problem, a simple sheet metal fix on Monday. The big issue, and a stupid one on my part, the Willians seat belts I had in the car expired in APRIL, 2011. Steve Davies came up to me and said, "I'm disappointed in you. You should have noticed that". Honest to God, I felt like a scolded school kid. So now we have Steve and four other inspectors huddled behind the car trying to decide if I could run or not. And I realize, and everyone else should realize, their position is to keep us safe, not to keep us from enjoying this sport. They finally decided to let me run after Joe with DJ Safety came up with some fixes. By the way, Joe, I owe you a six pack.
Part 2 - Sunday coming next.
