thanks guys!
i really like the 'make-a-wish' angle; i'd have very ample opportunity to mention it often on camera; plus, who doesn't pull for the car/driver that is racing in the name of a charity? especially a charity that is so special such that is make-a-wish?
i started up the turbo honda (first time in a LONG time!) and of course it roared to life immediately (didn't even have a dead battery!). hondas are like that! the guy that does my engine tuning and setup has agreed to spend as many days as needed on the car to convert it to E85 fuel (we've got the 750cc injectors, and fuel pump, and associated parts already), and make sure that the driveability and maps are perfect for this type of race (no holes in the maps and no stumbling or problems). he'll do it for free, and is just asking for a few decals to be put on the sides of my car.... he wants to work on the midrange, and the area under the curve, and make the car a monster coming out of the tight turns.....
i'm always thinking about the RHR race now; it is pretty much occupying most of my mind most of the time; i can't wait for the first race in may! (gotta go to the dyno day in april and then the track day at pocono first though).
i'm curious to see how folks perform at the track day at pocono though, to be honest!
