i'm still alive

formula d is april 16

we would not be able to make it if it werent for tr's very own scott avoy

the cars are nearing completion, mine is very close to running, robs is about 35 hours away from running.

the rig is here, and is gigantic, 60 feet long 14 feet high. putting vinyl on it is a very fun experience.

you wont hear much from me as this gets closer and closer to being a reality, i hope to give everyone lots of info and dates and what not as i come back.

here's a picture of me getting seated and positioned in the car, testing out how everything is going to feel



by the way, had a chance to compare RJS, Sparco, and Impact racing harnesses , the impacts are wider than the other two, and distribute the pressure more evenly than the others. this means they don't hurt your shoulders as bad when you are literally ratcheted in to location.
