A little background. My wife was driving at NASA Nationals at Mid-Ohio in September '07, and in the main race her panhard bar mount broke, she spun, and was hit in the driver rear quarter panel. We took it to the body shop on January 14th, and told them it was no hurry.

So, good news. The car is apparently ready for paint. I'll take and post some pictures after we go check it out this afternoon. The body work guy said we should discuss how fancy we want to paint it. Fancy? Um, not.

I put this in GD - I notice we don't have a broke up car specific forum. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

TJ, thanks for the data point. We were going with 15 gallons based upon input from Nick Steel, who was just getting starvation in his CMC car at NASA Nationals at Mid-Ohio with a 12 gallon cell. That's the longest sprint race that we currently run. Nick has an AI car, so knows the consumption there, but it would be nice if we had mpg numbers for our car. Sadly, we never calculated that with the current engine / tune - honestly because we didn't want to know. But I think it was in the ~7 mpg area with the last engine. I think we're running richer now. :-0

Jason,

With my 330-350-ish rwhp 353, I was burning 7 gallons (or a touch over) in a 30 minute session in my Camaro at Nashville Superspeedway. I'm going to put a 22 gallon in mine, I can always leave a few gallons of fuel out, the cell isn't that heavy. That's just my approach, you don't have to agree.
