Default Winternational prep is done!!!

Red is ready to be loaded as I turned it around in the garage this afternoon. Tuesday will be the day we load it in the trailer ready to make the haul to Orlando for the Winternations. Judges, it's as good as I can get it. I have run out of time and steam.

It looks like he is using a 13.8% drivetrain loss which would be pretty accurate, then he is making 500 HP. 431/.862 = 500.

Brian looks great so far the weather is looking good for Thursday, Friday, and a slight chance of rain on Saturday looks like mid to high 70's during the day

Have a safe trip down to Kissimmee Tuesday.

After these cold temps were having here in NC, we are looking forward to some 70's

Thanks guys. The area behind the grille will get painted black, but ran out of time to do it before the show.

If I had pulled my car out to take pics like that, a flock of birds with taco bell ***** would have annihilated it. That's just how it goes with me. Nice work on the ride.
