Rally Cross Race - 20 March

The race went well - 2nd overall in the 2WD for a shake down race

Lots of great pictures were taken of the event

Wiring almost done

It was a good weekend for rally car work
- finished all of the wiring changes that I wanted to make
- finished most of the tie down / strengthening of the interior wiring and parts that I wanted to make

Tomorrow & Tuesday - put the interior back together and get ready for my first RallyCross Race on Saturday

Welding complete

Car half put together - just need to do a bit of work and complete my wiring of the dashboard passenger side, re-install the interior and finish everything off

Need a new driver's seat - the present one is a little short and the support ears did into my shoulders

Never ending cost, these race car things

Olympic Protesters

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH - darned Olympic protesters made it impossible to get my remaining car parts for my Subaru (street car) as they completely blocked off access to the body shop - now I have to wait until next week to get it finished which takes time away from fixing my race car

Too much work

Too much to do - working on four vehicles is a little time consuming

Rally car work is on hold until I can get my street car finished (in pieces in the back carport)

Final roll cage touch up & wiring happening this weekend and the weekend of the 20th

Rallycross race in Parksville - to be skipped for skiing during the Olympics in Whistler BC

LBD Rally Racing - New Team Logo

Connor - a talented young graphic artist from BC - created the new LBD Rally Racing Team Logo.

Thanks Connor ... Great work and my friends are very impressed.

I asked one of my co-workers if he would wear a T-Shirt with this logo. His answer was an emphatic

YES!

HID Rally Light Pod

Received the last of my ballast support brackets
I should be putting together the 55W HID pod lights in the next couple of weeks
Let's see if it makes any difference from the present 130W halogens - they provide great light but actually make the idle go down due to the current draw :)
