Gerry bonded in pins on the front corners and fabricated a cross piece between the front fenders with receptacles for the pins .
We then changed the hood pins on the rear to aero catches

Not likely , car won't pass the noise limit at Mission , more likely look for a Portland date in September

Forgot about the meter at Mission.

My 510 pegged it on the induction side of the motor.

Sovren has two more years on noise variance for our Portland events. It would be a good track for your GT.

You have obviously been very busy. Unreal amount of custom part fabrication. Looking forward to seeing the finished product and it on the track. Will you take it over to the new course on Vancouver Island?

There's a 2nd new track in s.e. B.C., Area 27, south of Penticton. Should be open shortly. I stopped there last month on 2nd day of paving.

Looks to be a Racers race track, rather than a car club cc track. Hope to visit the Island track and see friends in Victoria right after I get back from Rally 11.

I was at the grand opening of the Vancouver Island track , Peter Baljet and I ran some laps with his Saleen S7R and our GT3 Cup car , it's a great facility and a great club track but I don't think they are ever planning to host any race events.
It is very technical but it flows nicely and is fun to drive , the clubhouse is very impressive and I think they have some big plans for track expansion and garages.
Jeff , you are right about Area 27 , a friend of mine got a tour after the paving was completed and said it looks fast
