progress has been slow honestly. Obviously priorities shifted when I came home to that. I competed in a Tourist Trophy Event. The "Sendai TT" I came in second place. It was a 200 mile race (320km), took me 2 hours and 24 minutes. That doesn't sound too fast, but you should have seen some of the roads, I almost crashed once, like for real real almost crashed. Only pure luck saved me. (Long straight into a 90deg left hander that I didn't see, and it wasn't marked, pretty sure the car was on the two outside wheels only for a second) First placed blew me away though at 2 hours 1 minute.
The car needs a run through, and some serious upgrades. They are coming but everything takes time. The biggest thing I'm working on is securing a RIPS RB30DETT. But most of this hinges on whether or not I can get the racing exemption to take the car back to the states. I'm not dumping money into something that I will have to get rid of. I have raced it and won trophies, and I have won car shows with it already. I will race it and put it in car shows at the states. I think it definitely fits the bill, but the time will come when NHTSA tells me yay or no way.
