Race Readier

Upper control arms are complete, lowers are very close. Leaf spring is in UPS. Upright design is complete, so next weekend I will be living at the machinists' and driving up to Olive Branch to complete the lower arms. Also we will be begging at University of Mississippi for a remade spring clamp. Maths show that our 125mph-top speed gearing will work well, allowing us to mostly utilize 3rd gear for much of the lower part of the course. We are tight on time but still confident, as we have a parametric test plan and the ability to run through it in only a few days time. It's go time and I'm ready to ride.
Still lacking some bracing at the upright-end and the spring pickup
It's a big weekend for racing so I'm off to the Indy 500. Don't forget the Monaco GP on Speed TV!
