Lists

Ten weeks to the first race at B.I.R. on June 4-5.

Didn't get a lot of work done on the racer this weekend. Made lists of what needs to be purchased and the work that needs to be done. The engine/gearbox remains the largest job.

Two of the six tires from last year are not usable, two are nearly worn out but would be OK in a pinch, one has pretty decent tread left. We'll need six to eight tires per race weekend at about $100 apiece.

I would like to paint the car. Nothing fancy, but for many years I've wanted to have a race car painted USFS green, a sort of mint green shade. Maybe some dark green stripes on the sides. I've seen several Chump Cars painted with rollers; that would be fine with me.
