Oh my. The "get 'er ready" list is long for car 1837. I know I should have been working on it sooner but I just listed out all the thing I'd "like" to do before the first race in July and man, I've got to get busy!


In no particular order:

- Replace broken shock
- revalve rear shocks
- fix rear bump stops
- beef steering
- mod nuclear bananas
- mod 2-way radio
- mount GPS
- go from keyed ignition to toggle panel
- make light bar
- install passenger seat & harness
- beef engine mounts
- mod spare tire carrier
- mod jack mount
- test it
- wash it
- load it up.
- gather & load spares / supplies


So, anybody want to get experience working on a 'world famous' racing team?

That doesn't sound too bad. I see two possible ways of tackling the problem.

1.  Do a little each day.

2. Don't do any of it until the last week or so, then hit it hard and decide at the last minute that some of those things aren't as necessary as you thought they were.  Show up unprepared and tired.

We have a pretty long list as well, I need to plan it out like I did with the White Rabbit build.

Number 2 is the standard operating proceedure. It'd be nice to try a different approach.

nuclear bananas?

nuclear bananas?

Yes, they're real...

-Eric

quite whining at least your going racing... You gotta bring the noise with those nuclear bananas since I won't be there to blow 45 min on the first hill (embarrassing...).. I didn't see new motor on there anywhere..

I did number 2 last year.. It sucked.. Prioritize on necessity, then money... I mean can you really put a price on winning?
Bribe friends for help....
