I've started a Race-dedicated blog

So that I can keep my racing reports and blog entries separate from those regarding the build of my car, I've started a new blog at the following link.

My Racing Blog

It starts by giving you link to my 2010 Race Calendar.

Putting a roof over my head

Fitting the weather gear at the moment - not finished yet but worth mentioning that in trying to screw the first popper base above the wheel arch (as the Assembly Guide stipulates), the screw head sheared off. After I'd regained a certain amount of composure, I eventually drilled the screw out and will rivet the popper bases instead.

On this evidence, I can't recommend following the Assembly Guide...

Registered and Road Tested

Got my registration documents through last week and promptly got my registration plates made. Having donned them to the front and rear of the car, I made the most of the dry, sunny weather on Friday to put the first road miles on the car.

What a great experience. Here was a car that I had built myself, stopping, accelerating and steering without a problem.

When the clouds came in, I returned home and only managed a short trip of about 8 miles. But I'm on the road.
