Default SAM The BeaSSt Update #5!!!

THE BEASST IS ALIVE!!!

A lot of hard work by Sean and Matt this weekend has finally paid off. The SAM motor fired right up for us about 10 minutes ago.

Video (1.5megs and not the best quality, but my DSC is not made for hq video)
Motor Video

Big thanks for everyone's help. Blane is at BuzzFest so he isn't pictured here... I am sure David will post up some thoughts in a bit.

We have the hood on now as well. The Harwood looks *pimp* <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Time to sleep...been a very long weekend.

And the wrenching finally pays off! All of you have come a long way in a short amount of time. How much is left before it goes to Ed Wright? I can't wait to see it make some passes this next Saturday! I'll see y'all there.

Uhh, just out of curiosity, what crazy bastards would get set a car on wooden crates, then work on/under it? I hope those things have more reinforcement than I can see under there.
