Default HK-R .. Spy Photos .. $2010 GRM Challenge

Here are some "Spy Photos" from the Hello Kitty Racing Skunk Werks. It is being built for the $2010 Grassroots Motorsports $2010 Challenge.

The car is in progress, so this is not the "done" car. It still needs the highlights added to the horses. The paint job is a copy of the Tim Allen, More Power, Home improvement, Saleen Mustang.

Note that the driver seat is cloaked in order to hide a secret weapon from competitors. The secret weapon is alleged to somehow magically add 110 HP, and reduce the vehicles mass by 20%.

We plan to have it out at the PCA autocross at the Sarasota Dog Track on Sunday 8-29-10.

Is that a 2nd Place FAST sticker covering the Antenna Hole?

Tod, Go Win A FTD sticker ASAP! We need the sticker.

Hey FAST guys, every car entered in the GRM Challenge gets a photo in the magazine. You Guys are going to be famous, and you didn't even have to pay for a sponsorship.

Sorry, no real build thread with photos etc.

The Car went to Byram's Speed Shoppe' on Saturday.
Hopefully it will have the horse details painted on the sides before Sunday's Sarasota Autocross.
I heard rumors that a Ferrari Mechanic will be assisting us with the car, for free.
It's good to have friends.

You'll have to earn the FTD sticker, but if you need or want any FAST stickers, we'll hook you up!


My wife had a mechanic she took her car to when we met. Certified Ferrari mechanic. He took her for a ride in a 512 boxer once. Went to his shop a couple of times, nondescript metal building in a sketchy part of town. Always a couple of Italy's finest sitting around. And yet, he was always willing to work on her crappy 84 Dodge Daytona. Just had to help him push the Lotus Europa out of the garage first.

Tod tells me the HKR Mustang now has a flowing mane, and fire in her eyes.
I'm hoping he's talking about the paint. Thanks George.

The Hello Kitty Racing Mustang had the 3rd fastest time on Sunday. Woo Hoo??
That's out of 72 cars with Danny Driving. Danny had first in the modified Cayman S from Suncoast, a WRX in 2nd, the HK-R in 3rd. (I'm pretty sure those first 2 cars cost more than $2010)

I rode with Danny driving and with Tod driving; I plan to keep my Boxster.
Besides the rear shock adjust the gereral consensus was more rear tire and more gas in the tank. It got more rear tire today.

We plan to be out at Z-hills 5 days before the GRM challenge for final testing.
Oh, and Tod is making me clean it up under the Hood..... My plan was to weld it shut.

This doesn't seem like the wisest course of action on a Ford.
