Packed and ready to go

The trailer is packed and the car safely nestled inside.  But there is still a lot to be done.

Right now I am going through all the paperwork I need.  Not just a log book but also a homologation certificate as this car is built after 1985 (I have a car now that is 20 years old - not 33 - can you imagine....?)  That with driver's license (SCCA that is) and I should be all set for tech tomorrow.

Tech involves looking at all the safety aspects of the car and driver equipment. It is done on an annual basis and usually takes about a half an hour. I hope the inspectors will be happy with all the details I have done, to meet or exceed the regulations.  But there is always the chance I have forgotten something.

Next I have to make sure the car is aligned properly and the engine runs correctly.  Starting it on the stand and going back and forth in the driveway is not exactly the test the car needs.

So Friday is practice and qualifying with 2 races on Saturday.  I invite everyone to come out to Lime Rock, not to see me but to take in the beautiful weather and good racing.

I will post more tomorrow night and let you know how the new tires work and how I did.  After the weekend I will post more about what I did right and what went wrong.

Thanks for reading.
