I will remember that! About the only thing I have done correctly is listen to Akram's advice during the build. My expertise lies in building race bikes, not cars. Therefore, I have deferred to his expertise, throughout.
This car has very much been a team effort, throughout. Not only Akram and myself, but OS Inspector's research in helping us decide on which way to go, to the hard work and support of our suppliers who have stuck with us!
Regardless, a special thanks goes out to Betim at BBi, the kind folks at JIC, and of course Todd at Protomotive who has done so many file updates for us that I lost count! I'll have to send him something special for Christmas. Maybe a good ole fashioned Texas Pecan Pie!
We might even have some at the Mile!

Not only did we fill up on blinker fluid, but we also put in a new "powerband" and we added a quart of "compression", too!

awesome for first time running the car, considering how minimal time frank had to get used to the car and drive it before the event
