I couldn't get the audio to cue up like it should with the video software I was using so please excuse the music if it's not to your liking, but here is a clip of me driving the Contour in the first race lap after the restart on Sunday:

Like I said though, I hope to have much better video to share with everyone after Iowa.

For instance, the Escort that I was originally supposed to run with is all built and ready to race, it just needs drivers. I'm currently working on setting up an "Arrive & Drive" package for people who might be looking to get into ChumpCar or there is the possibility of selling the car outright.

Worked on the car a bit this weekend. We cleaned out the interior, prepped it for paint, primed, and then sprayed the majority of the roll cage gold (the front bars that the driver would see are painted black to be less distracting) and the rest of the car's interior silver.
We also got all of the wheels cleaned up and removed several pounds of gravel from Turn 12 out of the front wheels alone. Just looking at the front wheels, you would've thought this was used as a rally car!
Next up, we're going to paint the sides of the car black and get new gold wheels and vinyl graphics made and go for the John Player Special theme. Also on the to-do list for this week will be to start tearing down the gearbox we blew during the race and see if we can rebuild it to keep as a spare.
The team also made the hard decision not to run the 24 hour race in Iowa at the end of the month to save money for more races later in the season. We'll be racing at Iowa in the Chumpionship anyway.

Awesome!!
Our team just got back from Charlotte today. We had transponder issues for 4 and half hours which really screwed us. Several teams did. He's our Lemons/Chump car. No doubt a blast.
87 BMW 535i "CSL"
Early morning while it was still damp out
Had a boo boo
The garage space was killer
Maybe we'll meet at a race someday. But we don't really travel west at all.
