Not a lot of updates lately because I been helping Autumn do some video and not so many pictures. Autumn is working hard on her videos and at this point she's trying to get a new YouTube video out every week, here is the link to the latest video released, our chassis dyno session prior to Gainesville. We are now prepping for Charlotte which we leave in just over a week, we're also making some changes to the car before we leave (I'll try to get some pics up). We also picked up our new trailer a few weeks ago, we took the old trailer to D-2 SGMP because we simply didn't have enough time to swap over, but we're going to try to swap trailers before Charlotte.

The truck seemed to like an air cleaner base that was taller with a large radius into the velocity stack portion of the base plate. Might want to look at other OEM offerings. Keep hammering I’m confident y’all will get there.

I can't tell are there frame connectors on this car?

The next time you drop a metering rod, use the hooked end of another metering rod to fish it out.

Looks like routine stick car maintenance to me.
