THE LATEST

Hey every I hope all your weeks have been great!

This weeks had alot of new changes going on, but unfortunately were still waiting to receive the transmission back! They supposedly were shipping it out this week but well see When it actually arrives.  That basiclly mean that all hopes for trying to get on the track before march is pretty much not gonna happen!  Its not that big of surprise but I was hoping to get to drive Laguna in the 24th but I guess I'll just have to wait.

I didn't end up making it to the races last Weekend but I took a few pictures from the last race I was there.





I talked to the Roll Cage company this morning and they said the cage should get to my house on Monday morning.  The next race is going to be on March 10th-11th so hopefully we can have the car all together and complete by then!

It's all coming together slowly but sure so just being patient for that first day I actually get to attack the track with full force!
Stay posted as things are rapidly changing and the seasons drawing nearer.

Thank you all for your support and continued encouragement It means alot!


I hope you all have a great day and a Blessed weekend!

DAY LATE & A DOLLAR SHORT

Hey everyone how's it going?


Thank you all who continue to send messages of encouragement, and all of your kind words, they mean more then you know!

Sorry I havnt updated this in a few days, iv just been trying to figure things out before I post any inaccurate information.

As most of you may know that my first race/ day back on the track was going to be this weekend of the 11-12th... I received some pretty disappointing news last Friday...  I talked to the tranny guys and apparently the owner of the shop has been out sick, so basically now my tranny's not gonna be done to arrive back in time before the first race... :-/.  I'm suppose to hear back from them today or tomorrow to get a confirmed finish date but as far as t being here in time for this weekend, that possibility is out the window!

Im super bummed but I guess it just wasn't meant to be yet, but I guess in a way it might be a curse and a blessing, because of how close we were cutting it, it really didn't give us much time to shake down any bugs..





I went up to the track on Wednesday to talk to WORKS (the shop that's sponsoring me & working on my car) about a new game plan and we should hopefully have the car all done and ready to go not this coming week but the following. (day late a dollar short!) lol I found another track day this month as well on the 24th at laguna seca.  As of right now that is kind of what I'm shooting for.  The only problem I'm worried about going out there, is the track has a 92 decable max limit so I'm not to sure if my car is gonna pass that test but were gonna try and do something.  I'm really hoping I'll be able to go out there becuase it really is one of my favorite tracks as well as it would be nice to get a little seat time before next months race.  We shall see what happens but I'm pretty confident it's going to fail the sound test but you never know!
The next race is the weekend of
March 10-11th, so hopefully it might be a better way to start off the year so were not fighting setup and tuning during the race weekend and get it all worked out before the next race.
This will be good because the cage for the car is currently being constructed as we speak so hopefully it'll be done &  in the car, and hopefully well have it all tweaked in ready to handle business for the
10th-11th. 

While up at the shop on Wednesday, I took a few pictures of the car while we were trying to figure out where the seat needs to be mounted to work best for me.


I also stopped in at the race shop to pick up my new helmet as well as to buy my Hanns neck restraint device to protect my neck.  The helmet was no problem it fits phenomenal, so I can't wait to actually suit up for battle and go do work with it!




The Hanns device on the other hand is a whole other problem.  Being that I'm so skinny and lack pectoral muscles, the angle of which it is designed will not work with me or my body shape so I turn the sparked and idea.  Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be ann,e to use one but well see what happens.


Even tho I ca
n't race this weekend I'm still planning on going out the to watch on Sunday to to scout out my competition, meet all the NASA officials and try and make a few new friends and learn 1 or 2 more tricks that might help.I will take a bunch of picture of cars I'll be racing so you guys have some what of an idea of what ill be up against and will post an update sometime early next week.

I want to thank everyone once again for all your willingness to contribute And all of your continued encouragement!  A special thank you to those who are helping me make this year possible as well as to all the new love and support begin to be thrown my way, I feel blessed beyond belief and can't thank you all enough!


I attached the link to the publication the dispatch put out this week for those of you that didn't get a chance to take a look at it..

Stay posted for updates next week and a ton of new pictures of the races this weekend and of the car once it's all put back together.  I still need to rap it in a few of my sponsors colors before her debut and will hopefully get that done next week or the following, but iv always known function before fashion.. Lol so once she's running like a top again she'll look better then a super model(; all in Gods time!

 


I hope everyone has an amazing weekend, and God Bless!
