I havn't posted over here in a while, but Since I've learned so much from here for my 4th gen I thought I would share my current project that I'm just getting out of the garage. Had her first AutoX last weekend and I'm planning to take it to Carolina Motorsports park in April. Here's a few build pics and some shots from last weekend. Enjoy!

Yes, that site is Assult Craft Unit 4 (ACU-4) located on the Navy Base at Little Creek in Virginia Beach. It's a landing pad/tarmac for the Big Hovercraft landing units. Those things are Massive! The Concrete goes right into the Chesapeake Bay and yes we set the course back quite a ways from the edge, it looks closer than it really is. The site is so big we usually run 3 cars on the course at a time, and a typical run is in the 50-60sec range. The last pics are from the Virginia AutoX Championships, we drew 150 cars from all over the east coast. It was also a week before the Nationals which are also run on Concrete. Our club has exclusive use of that site for our AutoX's Tidewater Sports Car Club, or TSCC for short.

Those bars are bolted into cups that are welded into the firewall. It's also reenforced behind with plating. The cup has the center cut out so I can run a bar in from the back side and weld it for the extension of the cage o the bar that will eventually be in the dash area. Currently the front of the cage hasn't been built yet. Since I drive it on the street quite a bit will testing stuff, I didn't want to have a cage in it with out a helment on my noggin.
