Had a fun 3 day weekend at WSIR Big Willow.
2 more dates planned there for next year.
Then it closes for 2 years for a complete Big Willow reimagined make over.

We raced the 5 at Big Willow with VARA a couple weeks ago.
New engine and got the gearing perfect with a new lightweight 3.90 ring and pinion.
Chased hard to detect minor oil leaks Friday and Saturday.
Ran 1.22 during both qualifiers.
Having fun vintage racing and enjoying the challenge of maintaining and racing these old race cars.
5 is scheduled for 2 races at Big Willow and 1 race at Laguna Seca in 2026.
The 10 car will be raced at the Long Beach Grand Prix and the Rolex Reunion in 2026.

Fresh air intake for the helmet blower.
Nice to breathe fresh desert air and not the hot smelly in car air.
There is a small ice chest for the cool shirt too.
