We’re No. 1 (for the San Felipe 250, anyway)
Unless the other teams know something we don’t, we opted to go for a front start at the San Felipe 250. We’d gone for a rear start at the 1000, and all it meant is that we started fourth. SCORE released the current placement yesterday. We’ll be rebadging 1146 as 1101.

In praise of the ammo can
We needed something to hold tools in the race car. Something rugged. Something waterproof. Something cheap.
I picked up one of the larger ammo cans on my way back from a client meeting in Monterey. The next largest size appeared to previously been used to hold a Stinger missile.
A little bit of sanding, a few […]
