Welcome Back!

Hi all

After a long hiatus from working on the recycled racer project, I’m back! Yahoo! The extended break was actually a very happy one. I Entered and was accepted into the 24Hours of LeMons $500 crap car endurance race. So all of my free time has been devoted to building and driving a race car! Sweet! I ended up driving two different cars on the day of the event. The car I built, the number 47 1993 Toyota MR2 (magnum PI themed), blew a rear main seal two hours into the first day (I wasn’t the one who built the engine . Luckily, I got the first stint in that car and even though the clutch was slipping from all the oil, I had a great time. I also drove the number 9 Acura integra (madagascar themed) and helped it get an 11th spot, and out of 95 cars, that’s pretty danged good!

Here are some pictures from the Buttonwillow-based event. Also check out Jalopnik, Here for a full photo spread.

So back to the project now! After lots of thinking and trying to work out making my Logitech Driving Force Pro work, I think I’m going to spring for the G25. The modular pedal setup will make it so easy to mount and adapt. So there you have it folks. I may wait for the new G27 to come out… decisions, decisions. More to come!
