What happened to the last month?
Historical Updates Coming Soon
We went over a month during the build of the car without giving any updates (since June 9th). That was because we had to seriously buckle down and scramble to finish the car. We did finish it just in time, with the last roll cage bar being welded in the day before the race.
We did take a bunch of pictures during that month though, and at the track, and in the next couple of weeks, after we all recover from sleep deprivation, and after we make up for lost time with our lonely spouses, we will be filling in the blanks with the build history of the car, and will post pictures and videos of the actual race days. Since then we finished installing the cage, bought brakes, tires, safety equipment, etc, etc, etc, and cut 7 large diameter pool noodles into over 200 Lego nubs, and painstakingly glued 196 of them to the top of the car.
Until we post more updates, Jeremy already posted some quick real-time race day updates below using his iPhone at the track….and here are some pictures of the completed car to whet your appetite for the build pics and race pics:

- The black number on white background looks nice.
