The wiring mess created by a major short while leaving Woodburn has been fixed. Being color blind made it a challenge but it is fixed.

The mishap with the hood flying off has also been fixed. The only way you can tell something happen is that the scoop is primer.
Should be able to race sometime after the Boeing strike vote is over. Basically I have 2 more races for the season at best.

Wiring is easy...it just takes time. I just hate getting greasy though, being a diesel mechanics son over the years has taken its toll:noway:. I label ALL my wiring with a 3M write-on wire label marker at each end(basically a small piece of vinyl/plastic with a little area for writing on, then you wrap it around the wire). Makes identification and ease of installation a lot less time consuming and less confusing. Of course, being an electrician, I guess all of you would expect my point of view.....
