The race is a couple of days away and the car is ready?


There are a few issues to finish off, replace the rear brake pads and install roll bar padding, but it looks like the Fart-hinder Racing Saab 900 is ready to hit the asphalt at Brainerd International Raceway.

The decals and numbers were added last night (thanks to our sponsor Dave Erikson at ProGraphics!!!).

It could use a paint job, and a few other non-essentials, but it's ready for tech, or at least will be after tonight. We'll be packing up our spares and tools, and heading for the track on Friday.

Unfortunately there is no practice prior to the race, so there will be no chance to see how the car will run in competition until the race is on. Greg has driven the car around the shop vicinity to check brakes and make sure the tranny works, but we won't know for certain how it works above 80 mph until lap 1.
