How You Doing? 2009
« on: November 03, 2008, 01:35:07 pm »
Hi everyone,
 Let everyone know how things are coming along during the down time (rebuilding, new cars, etc...) for the 2009 Season.
You know we all love to see pics!  ;)      ;D ;D ;D
Don't forget to post any parts, or cars, you may have for sale , in the appropriate section.

 Thanks!

 Best of Luck!

 I still have a long way to go before my car will be put together.
I started buying  my racing gear. Got some Simpson nomex undies, and a pair of HDM double layer gloves.
Just so I don't get a bunch of ribbing about the underwear......... YES!........... They are NEW!!!   :D
(Those of you that are newer members might want a good laugh by reading the old thread on the subject of underwear)
I think that these will go nicely with my double layer suit.

 I hope to get the necessary welding done this winter, so that I can start bolting on all the parts. I'm giving Jeff's rear clip some serious thought. Would save me a lot of time.
I'll likely still need an engine; But have one lined up. Just need to come up with the money for it.

 I'm looking forward to 2009!

It looks like me engine is done, so at the very least I will be able to start my car and make noise in 2009.   :)

Well it must be the off season cause I am back to reading the forum :-).  I actually sold my chamionship winning car and bought a gently used 40 coupe from Indiana.  I went down 4 weeks ago and picked it up.  I have stripped the car down to chassis and painted the chassis red.  Now it is time to put it back together.  I am glad I got a better start on the off season this year.  Last year putting the car back together a week before race season was too much.

Thats great to hear that the new car is faster, and looks sharp.  Any ideas as to why it was faster?

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside down is expensive.

Those round top coupes are very lite.  I and too tall for them or I would buy one.  I raced with a kid that was about 100 lbs and he had a round top coupe....thats cheeting  :)

Car looks good!!!!

Well the old car was 1127 and this one is 1111 so it is lighter.  Also the old car had a 1200 with about 80-90 races on it so it was pretty tired.  This car has a Hank Scott 1200 with 5 races on it.

Hey RB,
 I like the new car!  :)
As for the 2/10's.................................................
Now that you've been married for awhile, That should definately speed you up.
Just ducking that frying pan she was swingin' at your head should have gained you a good 1/2 second!
 :P :P :P

 Best of Luck!

When a chassis is replaced through 600 can you change to a different body style?  Just wondering if that is an option for people wanting to try something different out. 

Good luck with the new car.  Sounds like it should be pretty fast.
