High Mileage, Hopefully



































Putting the finishing touches on the little car. We need to finish the Mono-Kote and a few other little things but are basically ready. The car is actually looking pretty good now. The canopy never materialized nor did the covering on the back of the car but that's how it goes some days. I am feeling much more confident now that the car has been run around the parking lot a couple of times. I don't know how the mileage is going to be but the driver seems to be pretty comfortable with the car. It won't be a world beater but as long as it holds together for our required three runs, I'll be happy. We've never been skunked and I don't want this to be the first time.

I'm hoping for good weather on Monday. Late April weather in Indiana can be just about anything from a snow storm to a heat wave. Last year it was rainy all day. Didn't make for the most pleasant experience and didn't help our mileage any, either. Regardless, just like fishing, a bad day at the racetrack is still better than a good day working!
