Bonneville has a way of showing you all weak areas of your car and does so very quickly. We had a horrible time seeing out of the homemade, heat formed windshield and was barely able to pick our way down the track. Just too much distortion in critical viewing areas. The only solution was to put this in the hands of a professional and get it done right. I contacted a recommended company in Los Angeles who has built polycarbonate windshields for a number of LSR racers but never got far with them. Don't understand why but after sending pictures of what I wanted and an enthusiastic exchange of ideas, no future contact was forthcoming even after several attempts to reengage. Bummer. Lyn attended a race event at Phoenix International Raceway and met with a rep from Racing Shields out of Martinsville, Indiana. She explained the problem and they said it should be easy making a windshield to our satisfaction. I used .093" poly and Racing Shields said it should have been a minimum of .125". Now that I have seen the final product, I can see no distortion in this new shield whatsoever (see image of windshield as viewed from inside the car). Hopefully, one problem solved.
Second, my right rear rocker took a big hit when Lyn got airborne and spun. Both rockers were sent to Ron Mong's shop for redesign and substantial strengthening. I think you will agree, the end result looks like a tank.
Thirdly, Stainless is helping me widen my front axle from 33" to 50". The tunnel said this will be an aero improvement so it will get done. While we are at it, a Watts link will replace the horrible Panard bar that caused us to constantly correct for a self steering car.
There are other things too. A much, much sturdier belly pan bolted, not Dzus fastened to the chassis, three foot addition to the rear, all the stuff tech wants to see next time through inspection and the list goes on.
