Excellent post as always Lynn! 

 

I'm curious what your racing future holds.  Didn't you say your driver retired to help his son get started in racing?  Are you looking for a new driver, or are you hanging up the racing career? 

 

Cheers,

As I suspected, the driver tested the car he had built for his son, and is talking about a come-back in a similar class, and long distance racing with his son, with less intense maintenance vehicle, like a spec Miata. (nearly stock).

 

So I would be interested enough to haul it around the country and not have to put in 50 hours a week in repairs and so on. I have yet to say yes to that.

 

So the GT-3 car (250 HP bridge ported 12A, is for sale. The GT-2 car (first gen with 280 HP factory Pport engine) is sold and left here yesterday. I kept enough housings to build another one should the need arise. 

 

The big house here is not yet sold, so the house and shop in Florida is held up over that.

Earnest Kerr wants to build a display/demo trailer with a running rotary and reduction unit. Fabulous idea, I want to make it a dyno, (very simple) with total thrust measuring, (very simple) One could even test mufflers and other items on such a rig. I used to have my own Stuska dyno, and I really miss it.

 

And build the BD-4 kit I bought in Texas in the spring. Rotary powered of course.

 

Going to the Marion Ohio BD-4 fly-in and air-show in the AM.
